Protocol/Security
Who we are
We are a unit of the Senior Pastor’s office responsible for running the itinerary of the church’s pastorate and invited guests.
We plan and execute the transportation, lodgings, hospitality and safety logistics of Pastors and Guest ministers during and after services and events as well as provide executive assistance where necessary.
The fact that the church is a place of refuge for all also makes it susceptible to visits from individuals with questionable behavior. Thus, the security department exists to enforce the three tenets of security :
deter
detect
demobilize
thereby ensuring the safety of lives and property within the church and the immediate surroundings.
