Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is hosting his own House of Worship Safety Conference.
Join me in Mount Vernon, Illinois - 87 miles east of St. Louis - for this inaugural event. We’ll come together and learn how to Protect our Congregations, Ensure their Safety, and be Victorious in Spiritual Warfare!
I’ve invited some of the top experts and trainers to discuss the current threats to houses of worship and the essential measures we need to take to prevent acts of violence in our places of worship.
We'll start on Thursday afternoon, April 24, at 1:00 p.m. We'll conclude on Saturday around 12:30 p.m. I hope to see YOU in April.

Jeff was at church in east Texas - June 22, 1980 - when a gunman entered during the morning worship service, shouted "This is War!," and then shot 15 worshipers - killing five. Jeff's sister, Gina, was among the dead.
“I was only 4-years old when the gunman entered during the morning worship service and began to shoot. I have forgiven the killer, but forgetting is something I will never be able to do." (Jeff)
JEFF IS NOT ALONE IN HIS PAIN ...
Anyone who, like Jeff, has witnessed such horror from having seen an act of violence, understands the pain that comes with it. And it can last a lifetime.

JEFF IS NOT ALONE IN HIS PAIN ...
Anyone who, like Jeff, has witnessed such horror from having seen an act of violence, understands the pain that comes with it. And it can last a lifetime.
Every day in our country hundreds (thousands?) of our citizens experience the pain and grief that comes from being victimized by violence. And those that die in an act of violence leave behind grieving families and friends.
Some will take their pain to the grave.
This is one of the primary reasons we conduct these conferences: we do not want Jeff’s story to … become your story (or the story of someone in your life).
HE NEVER COULD GET OVER IT.
Russell was only 11-years old when he witnessed the tragedy at the church where Gina was killed. Like Jeff, he was deeply traumatized by the incident.
Russell rushed out the door, and saw the killer lying on the ground across the street. He recognized him as the same man who had given him a dog two weeks earlier
HE NEVER COULD GET OVER IT.
Russell was only 11-years old when he witnessed the tragedy at the church where Gina was killed. Like Jeff, he was deeply traumatized by the incident.
Russell rushed out the door, and saw the killer lying on the ground across the street. He recognized him as the same man who had given him a dog two weeks earlier.
Five years later, Russell abandoned the church. But what he witnessed that day would never cease to haunt him. The trauma from the tragedy opened the door for a life time of pain.
Thirty-four years later, Russell took his life.
BLOODSTAINS FROM A VICTIM ...
The photo is from a local newspaper the day after the tragedy. The picture is the church bulletin.
Inside the red circle are bloodstains from one of the victims.
One of the presenters at Colonel Grossman's conference was married in this church three years prior to the tragedy.
An award-winning movie was made about this tragedy.
AND A WHOLE LOT MORE ...
There is no greater motivation for serving as a Protector of the Flock than LOVE. Every member of our team cares about others. They LOVE their family, their friends, their community - their nation.
In 1st Corinthians 13:7, the Apostle Paul writes that, "LOVE ... always PROTECTS..."
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONFERENCE?
We are getting a lot of inquiries about the conference. We have a Question and Answer page. CLICK HERE to get some answers.
"I have attended a lot of police training events over the years. This list of presenters is as good as any I have seen." - Trent (retired police chief)
* The number of presentations - combined - given by the presenters, does not include the thousands of presentations Colonel Grossman has given by himself in all 50 states and over a dozen foreign nations.
Lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the Homeland ... Targets of potential violence include public gatherings, faith-based institutions ..."
In 2023, Family Research Council identified 436 incidents (vandalism to violence) - more than double the number identified in 2018. These findings suggest that hostility against U.S. churches is not only on the rise - but also accelerating.
Near the end of His earthly ministry, in His prayer for His sheep, He says to His Father: "While I was with them (the disciples), I protected them and kept them safe ..." (John 17:12). Did you catch those words: "protected" and "kept them safe?" Yes, Jesus was protective of His sheep. John 18 tells us that when He was arrested, He insisted that His disciples be let go.
DID YOU KNOW THAT JESUS’ LIFE WAS 88 PERCENT TRAINING, AND 12 PERCENT PRACTICAL APPLICATION?
YOUR CHURCH SAFETY TEAM IS NOT “RIGHT WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.” No - they’re not. And no team in the country can make such a boast. And that is exactly why your team must understand the value of training. We encourage you to take advantage of this conference - this training - so that you will be better equipped to Protect the Flock.
And in your final days, be able to say to the Father: "I protected them - I kept them safe."
“We do NOT rise to the occasion. We sink to the level of our training." (Col. Grossman)
