Your Congregation Deserves to Worship Without Fear
Discreet, professional security for DFW churches, mosques, synagogues, and houses of worship. Armed and unarmed officers trained to protect congregations while preserving the welcoming atmosphere your community expects.
Who This Is For
Target audience: Pastors, church administrators, worship center boards, mosque leadership, synagogue directors, and religious campus facility managers
Houses of worship are designed to be welcoming and open — which makes them inherently vulnerable. Targeted violence against congregations has increased nationwide, and DFW houses of worship face the same threats as anywhere else. Large gatherings with predictable schedules, open door policies, minimal access control, and children's programs create security challenges that most congregations are not equipped to handle internally. Volunteer security teams, while well-intentioned, lack the training, licensing, and liability coverage that professional security provides.
How EJR Agency Handles Church / House of Worship Security
EJR Agency provides discreet, professional security for houses of worship across DFW. Our officers understand that security at a church, mosque, or synagogue must be visible enough to deter threats but unobtrusive enough to preserve the welcoming atmosphere your congregation expects. We provide armed and unarmed officers for worship services, special events, parking lot patrol, and campus security. Our guards are trained in threat assessment, de-escalation, and emergency response in large gathering environments. We work with your leadership to develop security plans that protect your congregation without changing the character of your community.
Compliance & Documentation
We develop customized security plans for each house of worship that address the unique layout, schedule, and congregational culture of your facility. Documentation includes threat assessment reports, emergency action plans, incident logs, and coordination notes with local law enforcement. All plans are designed to complement existing volunteer safety teams rather than replace them.
How This Works in Practice
Sunday Service Armed Presence
A large DFW church with 2,000+ weekly attendees engaged EJR to provide armed officers during Sunday services after receiving anonymous threats. Our officers maintained a visible but non-intrusive presence at entry points and patrolled the parking campus, allowing the congregation to worship with confidence.
Multi-Faith Campus Security
A shared religious campus hosting Christian, Jewish, and Muslim congregations needed security coverage during overlapping service times and high holy day observances. EJR provided coordinated coverage that respected the customs and access needs of each faith community.
Youth Event & VBS Coverage
A church running a week-long Vacation Bible School program for 300+ children needed security during drop-off, pickup, and evening events. Our officers managed parking lot traffic, verified parent credentials at pickup, and maintained a secure perimeter throughout the program.

How do you handle a security threat during a worship service?
Our officers follow established protocols: assess the threat level, position between the threat and the congregation, initiate lockdown or evacuation procedures as appropriate, contact law enforcement, and manage the situation with the goal of protecting lives. We develop these protocols with your leadership before deployment.
What does church security cost?
Pricing depends on the number of officers, hours of coverage, and whether armed or unarmed guards are required. Many churches start with Sunday service coverage and expand based on needs. Contact us for a confidential quote tailored to your congregation.
