Houses of Worship Plan

Even sacred spaces face real-world risks. A Right To Bear Houses of Worship Membership Plan provides access to legal protection, 24/7/365 Emergency attorney-answered hotline, and critical support, so your congregation and safety team are never left to face the aftermath of an incident alone.


The real risk isn't just during worship

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AN INCIDENT CAN SHAKE A MINISTRY

Even in the most caring environments, incidents can place a House of Worship and its leaders under intense scrutiny. Pastors, staff, or volunteers may face investigations, lawsuits, or personal liability, even when acting responsibly to protect others. One horrible moment at church can lead to months of legal battles, financial strain, and damage to a ministry’s reputation. 

  • Concerned about lawsuits or liability if a volunteer steps in during an emergency?
  • Unsure whether insurance or denominational coverage will fully handle legal costs?
  • Worried about personal exposure as a pastor, elder, or safety team member?
Legal preparation matters when your mission and ministry are on the line

Thankfully, I have not had a self-defense situation where I have required the services. I do have the peace of mind of knowing that I have that support. the informative classes for different situations have been very helpful for increasing my knowledge and preparedness, I try to never miss those. I recently joined the Assurance team at my church. I immediately called Right To Bear to see if I needed to have any additional coverage, being able to contact them and get information immediately was a great comfort.

Questions Churches Ask Before Joining


Does the membership plan include both staff and volunteers?

Yes. Protection benefits can extend to pastors, elders, staff, and designated safety team members, subject to membership terms. 

Doesn't my house of worship already have insurance?

General liability insurance rarely covers criminal defense and often excludes volunteer or off-duty scenarios. The CCW insurance policy* accessed through the Right to Bear membership fills those gaps. 

Does protection apply beyond Sunday services?

Yes. Protection benefits apply during church services, events, and ministry activities. And because protection shouldn’t stop at the church doors, it also extends to lawful self-defense incidents in a security team member’s personal life, subject to membership terms and applicable law. 

Can we add family members?
Yes. Options are available to extend protection to family members.
When do the membership benefits begin?

Your membership benefits, including education materials, the attorney hotline, and access to the self-defense liability policy* created specifically for Right To Bear and its members starts as soon as membership is approved.
