Safety Is Different When Only Five People Are In the Building.

Church safety shouldn’t only be a Sunday-morning concern.

Bible studies, choir rehearsals, counseling appointments, leadership meetings, and weekday activities often take place when fewer people are in the building—and that can change the safety picture considerably.

When only a handful of people are present, consider:

·        Keeping unused entrances locked and limiting access to one designated entry point.

·        Making sure someone knows who is expected to be in the building and when.

·        Avoiding situations where one person is left alone to open or close the facility whenever possible.

·        Having a simple way to communicate or call for assistance if something unexpected occurs.

·        Checking parking lots, hallways, restrooms, and common areas before everyone leaves.

·        Making sure participants know which exits are available in an emergency.

A smaller gathering may feel less risky because fewer people are present, but fewer people can also mean fewer eyes, fewer witnesses, and fewer people available to help.

Church safety plans should account for the quiet days too—not just the crowded ones.

Awareness doesn’t end when Sunday service does.
