Volunteer Church Security Program for Safety Teams

Many churches rely on trained volunteers to watch entrances, respond to disruptions, and coordinate with local law enforcement. Standard policies can leave gaps when volunteers take authorized action in a crisis. The Strong Tower Insurance Volunteer Church Security Program helps protect those individuals from personal liability and provides support if injuries occur-so teams in Plant City, Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando, and beyond can serve without hesitation.

Coverage Highlights Built for Real Incidents

Civil Liability for Defensive Acts

Coverage for claims when a volunteer acts within established protocols to protect the congregation.

How the Program Works

We'll help your church document a security ministry with clear roles, training, and incident protocols. Programs can require background checks, regular drills, and coordination with local police-best practices that support both prevention and claims handling. Strong Tower Insurance guides leaders through requirements and enrollment.

Setting Up a Secure Church: Beyond Insurance

Insurance is one layer. We encourage risk management steps such as usher awareness, camera coverage, medical response kits, and communication plans. Our team can provide checklists and connect you to additional resources so your security team and greeters work together smoothly.

Real-World Scenarios and Peace of Mind

Example scenario: A volunteer intervenes to halt a violent disturbance and faces a civil claim afterward; the program coordinates defense and responds within the policy's terms. Example scenario: A volunteer is injured while assisting families during an evacuation; covered medical benefits help with treatment and recovery.

If you're forming a new team or formalizing an existing one, Strong Tower Insurance will outline pricing, eligibility, and steps to add volunteers. We'll prepare materials your leadership can review and approve quickly.
