Most churches are compassionate and willing to help.
Very few are structurally prepared when a medical emergency actually occurs.
Sanctuary Strong was created to move churches from good intentions to clear action by establishing defined roles, response flow, and ongoing readiness that works in real life.
This is not CPR training.
It is a leadership and coordination system for medical emergencies in churches.
Created by a Registered Nurse. Designed specifically for churches.
Why Sanctuary Strong is Different
Why most church safety efforts break down
Churches usually take one of these steps:
Buy an AED
Send a few volunteers to CPR training
Download a generic emergency plan
These are good steps, but they often fail under pressure because:
No one knows who is in charge
Roles are unclear in the moment
Equipment is not consistently checked
Plans exist on paper, not in practice
Medical emergencies don’t fail because people don’t care.
They fail because there is no structure.
How Sanctuary Strong Solves the Real Problem
Sanctuary Strong addresses what most safety resources ignore:
A clear response structure instead of chaos
Defined roles for leaders, volunteers, and responders
Ongoing preparedness, not one-time training
A system built for church environments, not workplaces
We don’t prepare individuals. We prepare the church.
Why Sanctuary Strong Was Created
A real church emergency that exposed a gap no one talks about

Testimonial
“…it boosted our members’ confidence to save a life…”
On behalf of our Pastor Rev Dr. James Pankey and our entire church family, we appreciate you providing us with much needed services with Hospital Med Supply. Not only did you ensure that we were equipped with an adequate and appropriate AED device, you offered and provided a full-service management program that included professional instruction and CPR certification.
It was truly a blessing to have you as our instructor. We knew from the start that you came to us credentialed and highly recommended and our expectations did not fall short. You were very professional in every sense, making sure that what was taught was thorough, detailed and easy to understand. The students (volunteer members of church) were appreciative to you for what they learned and it boosted their confidence to complete the course and receive a CPR certification. Ultimately, they were very excited to know that they could potentially help to save someone's life.
Again, we appreciate and are grateful for the work that you do. May God continue to bless you and all those you serve.
We sincerely thank you.
Jinada S., AED/CPR training coordinator,
New St. John Baptist Church

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this book only for large churches?
No. The Sanctuary Strong book was created for churches of all sizes.
Whether a church has a few dozen members or several thousand, the need for clear leadership, defined roles, and calm response during a medical emergency is the same. The framework in this book can be scaled to fit the size, staffing, and resources of any congregation.
Is this medical or CPR training?
No. This book is not medical or CPR training.
Sanctuary Strong focuses on planning, leadership, and coordination during medical emergencies. It helps churches define roles, establish response flow, and prepare volunteers to act with clarity and confidence. Hands-on medical training, such as CPR certification, is separate from the scope of this book.
Is this a faith-based resource?
Yes. Sanctuary Strong was written specifically for churches.
The book respects the values, culture, and leadership structure of faith communities and is designed to support preparedness without fear. While it addresses practical emergency planning, it does so within a church-appropriate and mission-aligned context.
Do we need medical professionals on our team?
No. Medical professionals are not required.
Sanctuary Strong is designed for volunteer-led teams. The framework helps churches prepare everyday leaders and volunteers to respond calmly and effectively during a medical emergency, even if no medical professionals are present.
Do we need an AED to use this book?
No. The Sanctuary Strong book can be used without already having an AED in place.
The book is designed to help churches assess readiness, define leadership roles, and make informed decisions about emergency response needs. For cardiac emergencies, an AED is an important life-saving tool, and the book helps churches determine whether one is needed, where it should be placed, and how responsibility should be assigned.
Churches are encouraged to plan first, then implement based on their specific context.
Do we need anything else to use this book effectively?
No. The Sanctuary Strong book is designed to stand on its own as a planning and leadership guide.
Some churches choose to pair the book with the optional Sanctuary Strong Church AED Maintenance Tracker Logbook as a separate tool for ongoing documentation and inspections once a plan is in place. This is optional and not required to use the book.
