FAQ

Questions Pastors Ask

Where do we start?+

With a free assessment. We visit your church, walk the campus with your leaders and identify vulnerabilities. From there you can add the courses your team needs.

Is the assessment really free?+

Yes. We come to your church, identify its vulnerabilities and talk through the basic training needed to get your safety team up and running, at no cost. We can do it during a service if you like.

Why is Fundamentals priced as a range?+

Fundamentals runs $500 to $1,000 depending on the number of people, the size of your facility, the amount of time needed and your location. We give you a firm price after the assessment.
