Emmaus Defense takes church security seriously. They conduct full facility assessments, evaluate threat levels specific to your congregation, and recommend either building a safety team from the ground up or auditing existing security measures. Given the rise in threats to faith communities, this is their specialized service.

They train instructors through the NRA certification program, meaning they're qualified to certify other trainers in firearms instruction.

"Grant and Louisa are great instructors on the firing line and in the classroom. They teach in a way that reaches any shooting level and don't sugar coat the responsibilities and rights you have as a home defender or concealed carrier." — B. Yates

Emmaus Defense also operates Modern Woman Warrior, a sister company created by women, for women, focused on personal protection and self-defense education through YouTube and social media channels.
