Coordinate Your Church Security Team Without the Chaos
Keep your team aligned, your incidents documented, and your church ready, without juggling spreadsheets, text chains, and paper forms.
The Problem
Church Security Has Never Been Harder
Today's church security teams carry more weight than ever. It's not just active shooter scenarios. It's the rising tension, the protests, the general unease that puts people on edge.
You didn't sign up to manage spreadsheets. You signed up to protect God's people.

Our Story
Built by Someone Who's Been in Your Shoes
I first joined a church security team in 2009. Back then, it was simple: check stickers, keep kids safe.
While culture has changed and things have gotten progressively more intense, our mission has stayed the same: we serve because we love God and we love people.
Vigilant Church was born out of a desire to serve God through the Church Security Ministry and to do it with greater excellence.
I spent 15+ years building software for Microsoft and other Fortune 500 companies. Now I am using those skills to lead a team to build software to empower church security teams like yours.
“We built this because our own church security team struggled with the same problems. Scattered notes, missed messages, reinvented wheels, lost incident reports. This is our solution to those problems.”
