Church Security

What Church Security is

Church Security is web-based software for organizing church volunteer teams involved in congregation and child safety. It brings volunteer onboarding, screening, scheduling, checklists, training, and policy management together. Guided onboarding handles invitation emails, personal and emergency contact details, waivers, and completion status. Teams can trigger and track volunteer background checks and view who has been cleared. Scheduling tools include a shift builder, availability checks, conflict detection, and team notifications. Pre-built checklists cover fire safety, security, and child protection, with task assignment and completion tracking. The policy library supports customizable templates, version control, approval tracking, and shared access to policies and procedures. Its training module is in closed beta and tracks assignments, completion, and certification expiration. The free plan is available forever for up to 10 volunteers without a credit card. Paid plans support up to 100 volunteers and include all ministry teams: Annual costs $20 a year, and Month-to-month costs $25 a month. Planning Center and Rally Corp SMS Alerts are beta integrations. Breeze ChMS, Rock RMS, and Pushpay (CCB) are listed as coming soon. The service is hosted in the United States.

Who it suits

Churches coordinating volunteers for congregation and child safety may find its onboarding, background-check tracking, schedules, and safety checklists useful. It also suits teams that want to manage policies and track volunteer training in one web-based service.

Limits

The Free plan covers up to 10 volunteers. Annual and Month-to-month plans support up to 100 volunteers and include all ministry teams; the training module is in closed beta.

Getting started

1. Open the Church Security website.
2. Choose the Free plan for up to 10 volunteers or a paid plan for up to 100.
3. Use guided onboarding to invite volunteers and collect their information, emergency contacts, and waivers.
4. Set up background checks, schedules, and safety checklists for your teams.

Verdict

Churches managing volunteer safety teams should consider Church Security for its combination of onboarding, screening, scheduling, and safety records. Look elsewhere if you need training outside a closed beta or an integration that is only listed as coming soon.
