A Higher Standard of Safety, Grounded in Faith.
The safety of our schools and places of worship is at the heart of strong, thriving communities. At Covenant Protective, we take a proactive, faith-driven approach—combining experience, training, and vigilance to safeguard what matters most.
The Growing Threat to Christian Schools & Churches
Places of worship and Christian schools should be safe havens. But recent events across the country show a troubling rise in violence targeting communities of faith:
Annunciation Catholic Church & School – Minneapolis (Aug 2025): A gunman opened fire during a school-wide Mass, killing two children and injuring 21 others. Reuters
Abundant Life Christian School – Madison, WI (Dec 2024): A shooting left three dead (including the attacker) and six injured. Wikipedia
The Covenant School – Nashville, TN (Mar 2023): A former student targeted this Christian school, killing six people — three children and three adults. Wikipedia
The Numbers Tell the Story
Between 2018 and 2024, there were 1,384 incidents of hostility against U.S. churches — vandalism, arson, bomb threats, and shootings. Fox News
These incidents rose from 98 in 2021 → 198 in 2022 → 485 in 2023 → 415 in 2024. New York Post
That’s an 800% increase in less than a decade — and Christian institutions remain among the most targeted. First Liberty
Why It Matters
Every headline represents real children, families, pastors, and teachers whose lives were shattered in places meant to be safe. Security isn’t about fear — it’s about protecting what matters most before tragedy strikes.
At Covenant Protective & Response Group, our mission is simple:
➡️ Stand alongside schools and churches.
➡️ Identify gaps before they’re exploited.
➡️ Provide trained presence when it matters most.
Because faith and family deserve peace of mind.
This is where Covenant Protective begins. Our mission is simple but vital: to protect faith, safeguard futures, and provide peace of mind for the communities we serve. We are not a private military contractor, nor do we operate with a “one size fits all” mindset. Instead, we believe in building protective programs around the values, rhythms, and specific concerns of schools and churches.
The need for faith-based security is not just professional — it’s deeply personal. Faith communities carry the responsibility of guiding future generations and offering sanctuary to those seeking peace. When those environments are threatened, the entire community suffers. That is why Covenant Protective was created: to stand in the gap, providing a professional, highly trained presence rooted in integrity, vigilance, and faith.
Every Covenant Protective agent is held to the highest standard, reflecting a balance of readiness and approachability. While we prepare for the worst, we understand that daily presence must be one of reassurance, not fear. Agents are trained in proactive security measures, medical response such as CPR and trauma care, and emergency planning to ensure that if a crisis arises, lives can be protected until first responders arrive.
At Covenant Protective, we believe that protection is more than a job — it is a calling. Our foundation is built on faith, our standards are built on discipline, and our purpose is to ensure that schools and churches remain the safe, thriving spaces they were meant to be.
