At Hedge Protection Ministries, we are not your typical security company; we are a training ministry designed to assist churches with the implementation of a Biblical Hedge of Protection. Our focus is not on installing security systems and physical barriers… but about building the skill sets of men and women committed to strengthening the level of deterrence surrounding your church.
The Hedges we build are ALIVE and with the proper attention will grow thicker, taller, and stronger over time. A living, breathing Hedge designed to dissuade the enemy from targeting your church. Additionally, we can train your people to be ready to respond to just about any event that your church may encounter.
A well-prepared church is one of the most effective means of preserving the peace and protecting the Bride of Christ.
Development
The Founding Leadership of Hedge Protection Ministries are first and foremost followers of Christ. With a combined 44 years of Law Enforcement experience, Hedge’s developmental team created and implemented this very program in their own church. Having done that, they fully understand the pressure and frustration that can come with implementing this type of program given the limited information, experience, and training available to churches today.
