Advanced Church Security & Safety Team Firearms Training in Orlando, Florida

“Called to Protect. Trained to Act.”

"The threat is mobile. The room isn’t empty. Your teammates are close—and so are the people you're there to protect."

Church Safety Team 2.0 is where training gets real. This 1-day course builds on the 1.0 foundation and introduces the kind of skills every armed protector must master—defending against threats while moving, one handed shooting and reloads under stress, shooting around cover, and coordinated team drills.

​​

Who This Course Is For:

✔️ Students who have completed Church Safety Team 1.0
✔️ Armed safety and security volunteers serving in churches, synagogues, cathedrals, and other houses of worship
✔️ Shooters who are ready for faster pacing, movement drills, and structured challenge

What You’ll Learn:

  • Shooting while moving back and side to side 

  • Engaging multiple threats with accuracy under time stress

  • One-handed malfunction clearing and simulated injury drills

  • Shooting from behind and around cover (barricades, pews, entries)

  • Introduction to partner movement and communication drills

  • Team spacing, muzzle discipline, and situational awareness

  • Cross-fire awareness and simple coordinated engagements

  • Training for high-accountability environments with non-threats present

  • Why marksmanship must come before speed—and how to balance both
