Lead with Purpose. Protect What Matters.

At Global Evangelism, Inc., security is about more than protecting buildings. It's about protecting people and creating safe, welcoming environments where ministry can happen every day.

We are seeking an experienced Security Services Director to provide strategic and operational leadership for security services across our diverse ministry environments, including church, K-12 school, residential, retreat, administrative, and special-event settings.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can see the big picture and ensure the details are carried out in the field. The Director will establish security strategy and standards, develop people, strengthen emergency preparedness, and ensure identified risks and approved improvements move from recommendation to implementation. This leader will build a culture of vigilance, professionalism, accountability, preparedness, hospitality, and Christ-centered service.

Through church ministry, Christ-centered education, media, outreach, and other ministry initiatives, we are dedicated to building people and creating lasting, eternal impact.

Our ministry operates across multiple campuses and serves a diverse community of employees, students, families, church members, volunteers, guests, and ministry partners. From worship services and education to residential ministry, conferences, special events, and community outreach, our teams work together to create environments where people can worship, learn, grow, serve, and experience the love of Christ.

What You'll Do

As our Security Services Director, you will:

Lead a comprehensive, multi-site security program that protects employees, students, ministry leaders, volunteers, guests, facilities, and organizational assets
Develop security strategies, operating standards, and long-range priorities, turning assessments, incident findings, audits, and leadership direction into actionable plans with clear ownership and follow-through
Lead daily security operations through supervisors, coordinators, dispatch personnel, and designated security leaders, ensuring reliable staffing, post coverage, access control, patrol, visitor management, and incident response
Lead emergency preparedness and crisis management across ministry locations, including emergency plans, incident command, drills, exercises, communications, after-action reviews, and coordination with public safety agencies
Provide leadership for school safety and security, including emergency operations, access and visitor management, dismissal procedures, family reunification, threat assessment, and staff preparedness
Plan and oversee security operations for worship services, conferences, athletic events, graduations, concerts, and other large ministry gatherings
Recruit, hire, train, coach, and develop security personnel while establishing clear expectations for readiness, accountability, and field performance
Strengthen security operations through training, field inspections, incident reviews, performance measures, and corrective-action tracking, ensuring identified gaps are addressed and improvements are carried through to completion
Oversee security technology, infrastructure, budgets, and long-range investments in partnership with Facilities, Information Technology, executive leadership, and other key stakeholders
Provide executive leadership with clear, actionable reporting on security risks, staffing, incidents, readiness, costs, performance, and strategic priorities

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an experienced security leader who combines strategic thinking with disciplined execution. The right person doesn't stop at identifying a risk or developing a plan. They build the team, establish expectations, verify performance, measure results, and follow corrective actions through to completion.

Our ideal candidate will have:

A minimum of eight years of progressively responsible experience in security management, law enforcement, military security, emergency management, or a related field
At least three years of experience leading personnel in a multi-site or similarly complex security operation
Demonstrated experience developing security programs, operating standards, training programs, emergency-preparedness initiatives, performance measures, and corrective-action systems
Experience working in K-12 education, a large church, complex campus, residential-care environment, or large-event setting is strongly preferred
A high school diploma or equivalent; bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, Security Management, Emergency Management, Business Administration, or a related field is preferred
A current Texas Level III Commissioned Security Officer license or the ability to obtain and maintain one
A valid Texas driver's license with an acceptable driving record
The ability to obtain and maintain required CPR, First Aid, AED, firearms, and other applicable security qualifications
Professional security or emergency-management training or certifications such as FEMA ICS/NIMS, ASIS CPP or PSP, BTAM, CPTED, or comparable advanced qualifications are highly desirable
This position requires flexibility to respond to ministry events, emergencies, and operational needs outside regularly scheduled hours as needed.

Most importantly, we are looking for a leader who demonstrates sound judgment, urgency, integrity, accountability, and composure under pressure. This individual must be comfortable communicating with executive leadership while also being willing to step into the field, verify performance firsthand, coach team members, and lead during critical incidents.
