Report: Majority of Churches Use Armed Congregants as Church Security
According to a new report by Lifeway research, around 4 in 5 U.S. Protestant pastors (81%) say their church has some security measure in place when they gather for worship, and over 1 in 2 say they have armed church members who are part of an intentional plan to deal with active shooters.
We’ve long covered the need for churches to employ armed congregants as part of a church security plan, given that 10% of all mass shootings happen in church or on church-owned grounds. In the last four years, the use of armed church members has increased by nearly 10%, from 45% to 54%. LW also notes:
More worshipers in attendance often leads to increased security measures. The larger the church, the more likely it is to have armed private security personnel on site and radio communication among security personnel. Churches with 250 or more in attendance are the most likely to have armed church members (74%) and uniformed police officers on site (27%). Those large congregations are also among the most likely to have an intentional plan for an active shooter situation (74%).

My most recent pay test was for a 12-hour-per-week internet job for 9,500 dollars. For months, my sister’s friend has been making an average of 15,000, and she puts in about 20 hours every week. As soon as I gave it a try, I was shocked at how simple it was.

Thanks for the great opportunity, but I’m good. I get all my money, and it’s a lot, from chasing down the pot of gold at the end of rainbows. Way more honest than your plan. Shame on you.
