We’ve already laid the case for church safety simply because love protects<\/a> (1 Cor. 13:7). Elsewhere we’re exhorted to “serve one another humbly in love” (Gal. 5:13). When we protect, we serve one another in love. To enable us to effectively serve, God gave us spiritual gifts. Hence, we can, and should, view church safety as a ministry using spiritual gifts. The question then becomes which spiritual gifts best suit this type of ministry.<\/p>\n

Assistant to the Security Director<\/p>\n

Trainer of Security Team and Others in Positions Responsible for Safety in Their Sphere on Ministry<\/p>\n

Developing Safety Policies<\/p>\n
