Church Safety Team Firearms Training 3.0
“Called to Protect. Trained to Act.”
When the unthinkable happens—when lives are at risk and no one else is coming—those entrusted with the safety of a congregation must be ready to make hard decisions with clarity, control, and skill.
Church Safety Team 3.0 is a 1-day scenario-driven, judgment-intensive firearms training course. Built around simulated active shooter scenarios using live-fire exercises, this advanced course takes place at a private training facility with dedicated structures for interior movement and precision-based shooting.
This is not about bravado or tactics for their own sake. This is about knowing when to act—and when not to.

✔️ Armed safety and security volunteers who have completed Church Safety Team 1.0 and 2.0
✔️ Defenders ready for advanced tactical problem-solving in a live-fire environment
