In Part One we discussed the different risks that apply to the church offering. In this installment we will discuss how to pickup and count the offering. Most of the risk can be mitigated if you implement proper procedures that provide for accountability in the transport, handling and counting of the church offering.
Pilfering is one of the most common means of stealing money from a church. Typically the dollar amount is fairly low but a much easier to be successful in the act of thievery. The ability to remove cash from the offering box, plates, safes or lock boxes is eliminated when an appropriate level of accountability is introduced into the procedures.
Lets look at the typical means used to collect the offering.

In today’s environment the church faces many challenges to it’s existence. Churches have faced scandals from sexual abuse to loss of creditability, embezzlement and thefts. Knowing how many of these issues can happen can help to understand what can be done to prevent them. In Part One, we are going to focus on how the offering can be placed at risk, both from outside forces as well as internal risks.

GUN Shot Avoidance Video!
Dear Glen and Jack,
I recently subscribed as a Church Security member, and subsequently purchased the Church Security CD and Manual Starter Pack. I am a retired law enforcement officer, who appreciates the effort that you have put into your material. Since I retired from the Missouri State Highway Patrol in December 2006, I have been doing private consulting and investigations. During my MSHP career, I was a certified trainer in defensive tactics, to include reactive firearms training (red-handled gun), so I appreciate the spirit with which you have developed and tailored your program to the church.........
Last week, I provided our pastor with the gunshot avoidance video that was included in an E-mail that you sent out last week. He was very impressed with the content, and the way in which it was presented.......
My pastor has requested that I accompany him to the next church conference meeting, to address the conference about security issues, to include gunshot avoidance and the security manual ........
Kindest Regards,
Rick W
Our Security Team was APPROVED!
Hi Glen and Jack,
Well, my partner and I met with Pastor this morning at his request. 100% positive results. Pastor has given us the go ahead to get a risk assessment done, add a couple to our team, outline plan/policy/procedures, contact local law enforcement & fire depts, contact our insurance underwriter, etc etc. Pastor has actually felt the need to do something for some time now, but we'll start small and work our way up, and we're all pretty excited about it.
Your "Basics...How to get Started" manual has been a great help. I'm not sure our presentation to Pastor would have been as effective without it. My partner is impressed with it too, and is ordering his own copy, so he doesn't have to swipe mine. ........
Thanks for all your help. God bless.

The Church Security Ministry.....is such a vital part of our church ministry. People come to hear the wonderful message of Jesus Christ...the church needs to be a safe place.
Our church security team provides our church family the freedom to focus on ministry while they keep the environment safe and protected. It is a new day in church life and this ministry is a must!
