I’m a Christian, Army veteran, and husband of 40 years. I’m also a dad to two daughters and a proud pappy to six grandkids. I’ve had formal training in security and preparedness, and I’ve stayed sharp through ongoing firearms training and my membership in the IDPA. Today, I help lead our church security team and that’s where this mission was born. Because I kept seeing the same painful pattern: Good people volunteering to protect God’s house… but doing it with no clear plan, no repeatable system, and too much pressure on one person to “figure it out.” And in today’s world, that’s not just stressful it’s dangerous. That’s why I created Global Church Security Academy: to help churches of any size build a simple, repeatable, Sunday-ready safety program without confusion, guesswork, or burnout. This is for: ✅ Pastors and church leaders who want a safer place to worship ✅ Church security/safety teams (volunteers or trained professionals) ✅ Greeters, ushers, and kids ministry leaders who want better preparedness ✅ Churches that need structure, training, and documentation standards Inside you’ll get: • A Sunday-ready safety system (walkthrough, briefing, roles, coverage plans) • Done-for-you templates: SOPs, role cards, incident reports, AARs • Scenario-based training packs you can run with your team • A growing church-specific training library • Weekly live calls for training + Q&A + real-world problem-solving • Guest speakers + experienced professionals sharing lessons learned and best practices for church environments Please don’t scroll past this. If you know someone responsible for safety at a church, share this today not “someday.” Because the worst time to get prepared is after something happens. Copy this link and text it to your pastor or security leader right now with this message: “Thought of our church when I saw this. Worth joining for the training and tools.” https://www.skool.com/global-church-security-academy-8535/about?ref=abad1fcf507c47559334df81d5e02b17

Saturday is not about slowing down it’s about resetting your spirit. This is the day to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with God. To let go of the pressure from the week and remember who is truly in control. Rest with intention. Reflect with gratitude. Realign your heart with God’s purpose. Renewal today brings strength for tomorrow. “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 Drop “REFRESHED” in the comments if you’re choosing rest, faith, and renewal today. Don Schaeffer Founder of Faith & Freedom Builders & Global Church Security Academy 🙏

We have FIVE admin spaces available for a total number of 10 admins in The Skool Hub excluding me and Niketa…💪 Your job will be to remove bots when you see them immediately and to boost engagement inside our community!

(Up to you to tell me each month when you want it up and to nudge me about it😂) our admins also get full free premium membership for life and once The Skool Hub passes 5k in MRR (we’re at just over $1000 now) you will all have an equal monthly percentage of the cut!🥳 If you’re interested and think you’re up to the challenge… comment below!⭐️🚀 I love you all!
