A Higher Standard of Safety, Grounded in Faith.
The safety of our schools and places of worship is the foundation of strong communities. At Covenant Protective, we take a faith-driven, proactive approach — using 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:
Charlie Kirk – Utah Valley University (Sept 2025): Christian leader and activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a public event. This was not just a political act, but an inherently evil act against a man 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, our mission is simple:
➡️ Stand alongside schools and churches as a partner in faith and safety.
➡️ Identify gaps before they’re exploited, giving leaders peace of mind.
➡️ Strengthen what’s already working so communities feel secure without losing their welcoming spirit.
➡️ Provide guidance and support freely, because protecting our kids and our places of worship should never be optional.
➡️ Confront evil with preparation, vigilance, and the resolve to guard what God has entrusted to us.
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.
Because of recent events, we refuse to stand by while evil continues to target Christians in places of worship and learning. Covenant Protective exists to step into that gap — to walk alongside leaders, identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, and strengthen what is already in place. Our goal is not to change who you are as a community, but to preserve it, ensuring that faith, worship, and education remain free from fear.
At the heart of our work is a simple conviction: churches and schools must remain safe havens. By preparing now, we remind evil that it will never have the final word.
