Equipping the Church to Stand Watch and Keep the Flock

A Proactive Approach to Protection, Rooted in Scripture and Confession for the Presbyterian Church of Amerca (PCA)

Why this matters

Across the PCA, there is a growing awareness: the Church must not wait for crisis to act.

Faithful stewardship calls for proactive preparation—leadership that protects, systems that serve, and teams that stand ready.

Krisis exists to meet that need.

A Biblical & Confessional Foundation

The call to guard and shepherd God’s people is not new—it is deeply rooted in Scripture and affirmed in our confessional standards

The Westminster Larger Catechism teaches that the Sixth Commandment requires not only the preservation of our own life, but also “the lawful endeavors to preserve the life of others.”

This is the work of Krisis:
to equip the Church to actively preserve life, cultivate peace, and faithfully steward those entrusted to its care.
