WEST FRANKFORT, IL – (Roni LeForge, WSIL-TV. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
Recent church shootings have members of a Franklin county congregation taking steps to make sure they stay safe.
For three weeks now, Grace Baptist Fellowship in West Frankfort has been locking their doors. It’s a security measure Pastor Roger Teal said recent tragedies forced them to take.
“When the service starts, we have someone standing at the door, he’s in plain clothes just like anybody else and he stays at the door during the entire service,” said Pastor Teal.
They have 39 trained members. Pastor Teal said many of those worshiping from their seats on Sunday have their Concealed Carry Permits and could be packing heat. Soon, they’ll add security cameras and better ways to communicate in a crisis.
