JULY 29–31, 2027

Bellevue Baptist Church | Memphis, Tennessee

THIS IS MORE THAN A SECURITY CONFERENCE.

Security in a ministry environment is different.

It requires more than tactics. More than equipment. More than a reaction to the latest incident.

It requires prepared people, capable teams, sound principles, strong leadership, and a commitment to serve.

The FBSN Security Operations Summit brings together people who are actually doing this work—church security directors and volunteers, ministry leaders, law enforcement, first responders, chaplains, trainers, and experienced professionals—to share what they have learned and equip others to do ministry security well.

This is where experience is shared.
Relationships are built.
Questions are answered.
Teams get stronger.

Be Strong. Stand Firm.

Whether your team is just getting started, refining an established program, or preparing for what you hope never happens, the Summit is designed to give you practical knowledge, proven perspectives, and relationships you can take home and put to work.

LEARN FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THE WORK.

One of the things that sets the FBSN Security Operations Summit apart is experience.

The Summit brings together experienced ministry security leaders, law enforcement professionals, trainers, first responders, and others who have spent years working through the real challenges of protecting people in faith-based environments.

Not just theory.
Not just talking about security.
People who have actually done it.

That is the kind of experience we want to put in the room.

The FBSN is committed to creating an environment where meaningful conversations can happen.

Eligible attendees are vetted to confirm their connection to a legitimate faith-based organization or qualifying professional role. This allows speakers and participants to engage in conversations and share information appropriate for a professional security audience.

BE STRONG. STAND FIRM.

"Be strong. Stand firm."

We prepare because people matter.

We train because the responsibility is real.

We build relationships because none of us has all the answers.

And we stand ready to serve when our ministries need us.

Prepare your team. Strengthen your relationships. Sharpen your skills.

Join us at Security Operations Summit 2027.
