How We Can Help You:
The Gloryland Security Team may be able to help with your event, camp, or retreat.  This is strictly a ministry which God has placed on our hearts.  We are all volunteers who do this for the Lord.  We only ask that your church cover our personal expenses.  We also accept donations toward our security ministry fund which helps us purchase supplies and equipment for our ministry.  We currently have 13 team members.  We all work full-time jobs outside this ministry and if we are unable to work your event into our schedule, we would be happy to talk to your security volunteers and offer some advice or training for your event.

What We Do:
Our ministry is to help youth and children's workers by overseeing safety and security issues for church camps, retreats, and special events.  Our churches take on a great responsibility when we hold special events involving youth, and our goal is to help church leaders provide a secure environment where our children can learn and grow in their Christian faith.
