Did you know that Dawson is blessed with a team of individuals dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for our church members and guests?  An effective church safety team, first and foremost, requires a ministry mindset committed to providing a safe, welcoming environment while building a culture of awareness. Dawson’s Safety Team consists of individuals faithfully serving every Sunday by covering our extensive 10-acre campus with the responsibility of monitoring activity inside our worship areas and throughout our numerous buildings, classrooms, sidewalks, and parking lots.  In addition, our Safety Team is also prepared to assist in emergencies such as medical, fire, power outage, missing child, or natural disaster. We are truly grateful to these individuals for the humble servant’s heart they represent and thankful for the careful attention they bring to keeping the Dawson Family of Faith safe.
