MVMNT Church
Charlottesville, VA
At MVMNT Church in Charlottesville, VA, we had the privilege of working with 318 Training for a church safety and security training, and we are incredibly grateful for the impact it had on our team. Two months ago, we experienced an incident that required our security team to act quickly and decisively. Thanks to the comprehensive training we received from Wade and 318 Training, our team was not only able to handle the situation with confidence, but we did so while staying calm, focused, and with minimal distractions. Most importantly, everyone was kept safe, and no one was injured. The practical, real-world examples Wade incorporated into the training made all the difference. His approach to teaching was not only informative but also empowering. He emphasized skills and strategies that we could immediately put into practice, and it was evident that he genuinely cares about equipping protectors who are ready to defend what is good whenever called. Our security team, as well as the entire church, is incredibly thankful for the training we received. We now feel more confident, prepared, and united as a team. I would highly recommend 318 Training to anyone looking to improve their safety protocols, enhance team dynamics, and ensure they're ready to handle any situation that may arise. Thank you, Wade, for your outstanding training and dedication to keeping us safe. We look forward to continuing to grow with your guidance.
