FAQ:
Do I have to belong to a faith-based organization to attend?
Do I have to belong to a faith-based organization to attend?
No.
Over the past decade, houses of worship have increasingly become a soft target for attack, and this training addresses those concerns. That said, this is a public event and open to anyone that has an interest in learning how to provide safety and security in a building-gathering setting.

Does this violate the concept of separation of church and state?
No.
The Safety in Faith program provides safety information to houses of worship in the county. We offer the annual Safety in Faith training, to all houses of worship regardless of denomination. This program does not violate the separation of church and state concept because we are not advocating any religion or faith over another or sponsoring religious activities.

We also provide safety information and presentations to businesses, schools, and other organizations and groups within our jurisdiction. The Safety in Faith program is titled such because the information offered through the program addresses specific safety concerns houses of worship face that many of these other organizations do not. Religious sites can be a target for violence. Many religions operate with an open door policy (i.e., everyone is welcome), thus exposing them to dangers that private businesses, schools, and other organizations do not share.
However, the Safety in Faith Summit is a public event; anyone interested is welcome to register.
