Protecting Sanctuaries: How the TAG Mobile™ Helps Secure Houses of Worship and Faith-Based Schools
In the Wake of Tragedy, Security Must Be a Priority
Houses of worship are sacred spaces — sanctuaries for prayer, reflection, and community. But in recent months, that sense of peace has been shattered by an alarming rise in violence:
Grand Blanc, Michigan (September 2025): A gunman opened fire inside a church, killing 4 people and injuring 8 during Sunday service.
Minneapolis, Minnesota (August 2025): A shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School left 3 dead (including the perpetrator) and 21 injured.
Nashville, Tennessee (March 2023): The Covenant School shooting, carried out by a former student, claimed the lives of 6 individuals — including three 9-year-old children.
These are not isolated incidents. They are part of a disturbing pattern of violence targeting religious spaces and faith-based education campuses. While we all pray these tragedies never happen again, preparedness is no longer optional — it is a moral responsibility.
A New Approach to Securing Houses of Worship
Enter the TAG Mobile™ by Titan Armored Systems — a discreet, dual-purpose ballistic shield designed to blend into your sanctuary, classrooms, or religious community spaces, while standing ready in the event of an emergency.
Unlike traditional ballistic shields that are hidden in closets or accessible only to law enforcement, the TAG Mobile™ is used daily as a:
Mobile dry-erase board for classrooms and Sunday school
Tackable acoustic panel for posting announcements, prayer requests, or artwork
Space divider for open gathering areas or offices
Welcome signage or donor wall in entryways and vestibules
And in an emergency?
It becomes a full-body ballistic shield capable of stopping AR-15 and assault weapon rounds and protecting congregants, clergy, and staff.

Faith-Based Schools, Preschools & Daycares Deserve the Same Protection
Many churches operate religious schools, Mother’s Day Out programs, or preschools — all of which host young children just feet away from sanctuaries. Yet most of these spaces lack built-in ballistic protection.
The Covenant School shooting in Nashville is a tragic example of how vulnerable these campuses can be. A former student entered through glass entry doors and carried out a deadly attack, forever changing that faith community.
The TAG Mobile™ is uniquely suited to help fill this gap — without alarming children or distracting from instruction. It’s a mobile whiteboard or display board by day — and a life-saving physical barrier if the unthinkable occurs.
In these settings, the TAG Mobile™ is ideal for:
Classrooms, nurseries, and activity rooms
Hallways or administrative offices
Entryways and sanctuary-adjacent corridors
Multi-purpose or fellowship spaces
Its discreet, dual-use design allows staff to focus on ministry, worship, and teaching, knowing that protection is built-in and always present.
Protect Classrooms, Foyers, and Sanctuaries Without Compromise
Whether your institution is a church with classrooms, a faith-based K–12 school, or a community center for outreach, the TAG Mobile™ provides serious ballistic protection without disrupting sacred design or operations.
Use Case Examples:
Sanctuaries: Place near entrances or stage areas to create discreet shielded zones
Church Schools: Use as a teaching aid or mobile divider in classrooms
Church Offices: Position behind reception desks or staff desks for quick coverage
Community Events: Deploy during large services, youth programs, or concerts
Don’t Forget the Windows and Doors — Titan’s Ballistic Glass Solutions
Beyond mobile protection, Titan Armored also manufactures UL 752-certified ballistic glass for:
Exterior doors and vestibules
Interior glass partitions and conference rooms
School classroom windows
Offices and welcome centers
These installations preserve visibility, slow down intruders, and protect staff and congregants while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of religious spaces.
