The MBC Safety & Security Team is looking for members to help make our campus SAFE & SECURE! This is a great opportunity to be a part of fostering a safe & secure environment for our church to pursue our mission and values.
What is the purpose of the MBC Safety & Security Team?
The MBC Safety and Security Team exists to safeguard the well-being of our church community by fostering a safe and secure environment that reflects our ministry’s values and mission. Through comprehensive planning, proactive risk management, and collaborative oversight, the team is committed to ensuring that all members, guests, and staff can worship, serve, and fellowship in peace and safety.
What are the responsibilities of the MBC Safety & Security Team?
To achieve this mission, the Safety Team will provide leadership and guidance at MBC by implementing preventive safety measures and emergency response procedures for situations including:
- Medical Emergencies
- Security Incidents (e.g., suspicious guests, emotional outbursts, physical threats, thefts)
- Building Evacuation (e.g., fire, gas leaks, weapons, or bomb threats)
The Safety and Security Team consists of trained volunteers and staff with backgrounds in medical care, law enforcement, security, and pastoral care. The team will ensure safety and readiness during services and church events while also training staff and ministry volunteers on emergency responses.
Our vision is to build a culture of safety and preparedness at MBC that aligns with our mission to glorify God, nurture community, and spread the Gospel. This vision will be realized by:
- Conducting Comprehensive Risk Assessments: Evaluating potential vulnerabilities and security risks specific to our ministry’s context.
- Enhancing Existing Measures: Reviewing and improving current safety practices to meet the growing needs of our church family.
- Developing Strategic Plans: Addressing identified vulnerabilities through actionable plans and aligning resources with our safety objectives.
- Implementing Robust Policies and Procedures: Establishing clear and comprehensive guidelines to ensure the effective and consistent operation of the security team.
- Appointing Qualified Leaders: Ensuring dedicated leadership to oversee the day-to-day implementation of safety protocols and foster ongoing communication with leadership.
- Facilitating Transparent Communication: Promoting regular dialogue between the Security Team, leadership, and the church body to address evolving safety concerns and maintain accountability.
Through these initiatives, the MBC Security Team aims to embody stewardship, diligence, and faith, ensuring that our church remains a sanctuary of worship and spiritual growth.
