Helping Faith Communities Prepare, Protect, Respond & Recover.
Every house of worship deserves access to professional safety, security, and preparedness resources regardless of its size, denomination, geography, or financial resources.
Safe Assembly Project brings faith communities, security professionals, and public-safety partners together to help create safer places to worship, learn, gather, and serve.
Safety Shouldn't Depend on the Size of Your Congregation
No congregation should have to face a safety threat alone
Limited Resources
Many houses of worship know they need stronger safety and preparedness programs, but simply don’t have the budget, personnel, or expertise to build them on their own.
Unclear Where to Start
Many leaders simply don’t know where to begin. Cameras, security teams, emergency plans, training, access control. Knowing what your congregation actually needs can be overwhelming.
Disconnected Support
Safety requires more than equipment. Faith communities need training, planning, resources, and strong relationships with law enforcement and public-safety partners before an emergency happens.
Safe Assembly Project exists to close these gaps. Giving faith communities access to professional safety and preparedness resources regardless of their size, denomination, geography, or financial resources.
WHO WE ARE
Security Should Be Through Stewardship. Not Fear.
Safe Assembly Project, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the safety, preparedness, and resilience of houses of worship and faith-based organizations.
Our approach doesn't create fear or militarize places of worship.
It is about stewardship.
It helps leaders understand their risks, prepare people before an emergency occurs, strengthen relationships with public safety, and give communities the knowledge and resources they need to protect the people entrusted to their care.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple:
Helping faith communities prepare, protect, respond, and recover.
Everything we do is built around those four Principles.
PREPARE
Identify vulnerabilities, develop plans, build teams, establish relationships, and prepare before an emergency occurs.
PROTECT
Strengthen facilities, people, procedures, awareness, and protective capabilities.
RESPOND
Help leaders, staff, volunteers, and congregants understand what to do when seconds matter.
RECOVER
Support organizations in navigating the difficult period following a critical incident and help communities move toward recovery and resilience.
What We DO
Building a Complete Safety & Preparedness Ecosystem
Safety isn't one product, one training class, or one piece of equipment.
It requires layers.
Safe Assembly Project was created to connect those layers into a comprehensive safety and preparedness resource for faith communities.
SECURITY ASSESSMENTS
Helping organizations identify vulnerabilities in their facilities, procedures, communications, and preparedness.
TRAINING & EDUCATION
Practical education for leaders, staff, volunteers, security teams, and congregants.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Helping organizations develop emergency action plans, communication procedures, response protocols, and training exercises.
PUBLIC-SAFETY PARTNERSHIPS
Building relationships between faith communities, law enforcement, fire/EMS, emergency management, and other public-safety partners before an emergency occurs.
SECURITY RESOURCES
Helping organizations understand appropriate security improvements, technologies, resources, and protective measures.
GRANTS & FUNDING RESOURCES
Helping faith organizations identify potential resources and funding opportunities that may make needed security improvements possible.
POST-INCIDENT SUPPORT
Helping communities navigate the aftermath of a critical incident and connect with appropriate resources.
Our Approach / Public-Safety Network
More Than Security. A Network.
The strongest safety plan is built through relationships long before an emergency occurs.
Safe Assembly Project helps bring these groups together to strengthen communication, planning, training, and coordinated response for faith communities.
Meet the Team
Safer Communities Are Built Together.
No single organization can accomplish this mission alone.
Safe Assembly Project works alongside faith leaders, law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services, emergency management, security professionals, businesses, foundations, community organizations, and volunteers who believe in protecting places where people gather.
