The Modern Sanctuary
Houses of worship are
among the most-targeted soft spaces
in modern public life.

The data does not lie. Houses of worship — across denominations, sizes, and traditions — have become recurring targets. The conditions that produce these events are not getting simpler. And the people serving on church security teams are mostly volunteers, often part-time, frequently under-trained for the threat environment they are quietly accepting responsibility for.

The faith community tension is real. How do you welcome the stranger and defend the sanctuary at the same time? Both are sacred. Both are non-negotiable. And both require architecture — not improvisation.

On Guard is the Compass edition for the men and women who carry that quiet weight. Not to militarize the sanctuary. To honor the calling and the readiness at the same time, with the architectural seriousness the responsibility demands.

Fully self-contained. Mission-grade. Built for the team that has decided the sanctuary deserves more than improvisation.

What This Compass Does

Honoring The Calling.
Honoring The Readiness.

On Guard runs the PRIME Compass engine integrated with four specialized defense protocols. The architecture is mission-grade and self-contained — designed to load into a Claude Project and run a complete church security operation from inside.
SYSTEM 01
Interior Position Assignment
The protocol for assigning team members to interior positions during services. Coverage of entry points, sight lines, congregational density zones, and the specific roles of platform, narthex, mid-sanctuary, and exit positions. Built around real church architectures.
SYSTEM 02
Parking Perimeter Protocol
The vast majority of incidents originate in the parking area before entry. On Guard holds the structured perimeter protocol — observation positions, entry monitoring, identification of pre-incident indicators, and the calibrated response architecture for the perimeter team.
SYSTEM 03
Strike Team Selection & Activation
When a team transitions from observation to action, the activation must be structured. On Guard holds the strike team selection criteria, the activation triggers, the chain of communication, and the protocol for engagement with law enforcement once on scene.
SYSTEM 04
Facility Mapping Protocol
A structured architecture for mapping the specific facility — choke points, sight lines, vulnerable populations, evacuation routes, secondary devices, and the lockdown architecture specific to the building. Built once per facility, updated quarterly.
SYSTEM 05
Team Communication Architecture
Mission-grade communication discipline. The codes. The escalation thresholds. The signals between team members. The clarity that becomes the difference between coordinated response and chaos when seconds matter.
SYSTEM 06
The Above-Baseline Field Guide
Built around the principle that a security team's job is to maintain awareness above the congregational baseline at all times. The Compass holds the architecture for above-baseline operation without becoming hypervigilant theater.
The Four Defense Protocols

Four Protocols.
One Sanctuary.

On Guard's defense architecture is built around four interlocking protocols that together cover the full sanctuary defense surface — perimeter, interior, response, and facility.
PROTOCOL 01
Parking Perimeter

The outer ring. Where most incidents originate or are first observable. Structured observation positions, pre-incident indicators, calibrated response architecture. The first line — and the line where most events are still preventable.

PROTOCOL 02
Interior Position

The inner ring. Coverage of the sanctuary during services. Specific positions, sight lines, role definitions for platform / narthex / mid-sanctuary / exit. Built to maintain above-baseline awareness without disrupting worship.

PROTOCOL 03
Strike Team Activation

The response protocol. When observation transitions to action. Selection criteria, activation triggers, chain of communication, law enforcement integration. The protocol that turns a team into a team under pressure.

PROTOCOL 04
Facility Mapping

The structural intelligence layer. Built once per facility, updated quarterly. Choke points, sight lines, vulnerable populations, evacuation routes. The map under everything else the team does.

What Running It Feels Like

A Service Inside
The Protocol.

On Guard runs the rhythm of a deployed security team — pre-service, in-service, post-service, and the weekly architecture that keeps a volunteer team functioning at mission-grade.
PRE-SERVICE
Team Brief
The Compass holds the pre-service brief architecture. Positions assigned. Threat conditions for the day. Specific awareness items. The team enters the building aligned, not improvising.
IN-SERVICE
Above Baseline
The Compass holds the in-service framework. Above-baseline awareness without theater. Communication discipline. The architectural readiness that lets worship proceed without performance of vigilance.
POST-SERVICE
Debrief
Ten to fifteen minutes after the building clears. What was observed. What was unusual. What needs to be tracked into next week. The familiar AAR structure, sanctuary application.
WEEKLY
Team Development
A longer review for the team lead. Where the team is in development. Which protocols need reinforcement. Which positions need rotation. The Compass holds the architecture for keeping a volunteer team mission-ready over time.
The Activation Sentence
Hi, I am new. What can we do together.
Right Tool, Right Person

Who On Guard
Is Built For.

On Guard is built for one mission set — and refuses to extend itself. The clarity of the lane is part of the mission discipline.
For You If
For You If
  • You serve on a church or faith community security team — volunteer or part-time.
  • You have taken on real responsibility for the safety of a congregation and want architecture worthy of the calling.
  • You believe welcoming the stranger and defending the sanctuary are both sacred — and you want a system that honors both.
  • You have law enforcement, military, or first responder background and are bringing that capability to a church team.
  • You are a team lead or director of security developing your team into mission-grade.
Not For You If
Not For You If
  • You are not currently serving on a church security team. The architecture will not fit any other mission set.
  • You are a first responder or veteran without a current church security role — use H.E.R.O for general operator architecture.
  • You are looking for tactical training in place of mindset architecture. On Guard does not replace live training — it complements it.
  • You want a tool that will help you militarize the sanctuary. On Guard explicitly refuses that framing.
  • You are looking for general mental health work — use UNGETTABLE instead.
Activation

Three Steps.
Under Five Minutes.

On Guard deploys into a free Claude Project. Fully self-contained — the architecture loads from a single compressed prompt and the operation is live the moment it loads.
01
Create A Project
In your Claude account, create a new Project. Name it whatever you want — My Compass, OnGuard, or your own first name works fine.
02
Load The Prompt
Paste the On Guard Edition compressed prompt into the Project's custom instructions. It's a single file. One paste. The system goes live the moment it loads.
03
Speak The Activation
Open a new chat inside the Project. Type the activation sentence: Hi, I am new. What can we do together. The Compass takes it from there.
