About Christian Warrior Training

Securing Churches, Protecting Believers

Practical, free training for the people who protect the church.

Our Mission

Christian Warrior Training exists to organize and educate church security teams around the world. We equip churches to protect their people in a way that is biblical, professional, and legally sound. Keith Graves launched CWT in November 2024.

Who We Serve

We train church security and safety team members and the leaders who run those teams. We also train pastors, ushers, greeters, medical teams, and everyday believers who want to protect their church family. If you stand watch over God’s people on Sunday morning, this training is for you.

He was named California’s Narcotics Officer of the Year in 2016 and received the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Hero Award for California.
