CALLING ALL FAITH LEADERS!
WELCOME TO PORTICO PROTECTIVE.
PEOPLE. ARE. THE. MISSION.
Security is and always will be about people. Protecting the people in your faith community isn’t just about theological concerns, but also includes their physical safety, security, and well-being. Making a safe place for congregants to attend, learn, grow, serve, and love is foundational for you to meet your God-given mission.
The Bible is replete with references to God's protective love (Hesed) based on covenant faithfulness. He protects His people because He loves His people. We can do no less the same. While protecting His people He also invites others to join His people and by doing so, join Him. Providing a secure place to do so is vital to the success of His mission and yours.
The greatest commandment is that people who follow Him would be a people who love Him and love others. That includes protecting people from harm and from those who would seek to do harm. It's all about the people.
We provide protective intelligence strategies to succeed at our mission of protecting others so you can succeed at your mission of reaching and feeding people.
People Are The Mission
Portico Protective equips and empowers faith leaders to Be The Shield & Staff and protect their faith communities through protective intelligence strategies and design.
