Thank you for visiting Serving Watchmen.

We are a Biblically-based and ministry-focused training company specializing in training faith-based organizations and volunteer church safety teams.

  • Since 1999 there have been over 1,700 violent incidents at churches (according to fbsn.com).

  • Last year we had 656 mass shootings (according to gunviolencearchive.org).

  • Yearly we average over 20 public school active shooter events (according to washingtonpost.com).

  • Every 40 seconds someone dies by suicide (according to press.un.org).

Today more than ever safety and security are a top priority.  Consider these very sad facts:

When seconds count, the police can be minutes away!  YOU HAVE TO BECOME YOUR OWN FIRST RESPONDER.  Our goal at Serving Watchmen is to provide affordable, practical, and real-world safety training to you and your church/organization.  We do this through:

  • Schools, Organizations, and Church Safety Training

  • De-Escalation Training

  • Active Shooter Training

  • Suicide Prevention Training

  • Firearms Training (Upon Request)

Please check our calendar on this site and consider attending a training in your area.  If you would like to book a training or if you have any questions please contact us.
