At Martin Communications, we believe that every house of worship deserves to be a safe haven for its congregation. That’s why we’ve launched Project 52, an initiative aimed at providing free security systems to 52 non-profit organizations, with a special focus on religious institutions. Let’s explore how this program can benefit your place of worship and community.
Understanding Project 52
Project 52 is our commitment to giving back to the community by leveraging our expertise in security systems. The program aims to install basic security systems for 52 non-profit organizations in our service area, at no cost or very low cost to the recipients. Houses of worship, including churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples, are eligible to apply.
What Project 52 Offers
- Free/Low-Cost Basic Security System: We provide and install a foundational security system tailored to your facility’s needs.
- Professional Installation: Our experienced technicians ensure your system is set up correctly and optimized for your space.
- Staff Training: We don’t just install and leave. We provide comprehensive training to your staff on how to use and maintain the system effectively.
- Ongoing Support: Our commitment extends beyond installation. We offer regular check-ins and support to ensure your system continues to meet your needs.
- Discounted Upgrades: For organizations needing more extensive security solutions, we offer discounted rates on additional equipment and upgrades.
Why Houses of Worship Need Enhanced Security
Religious institutions face unique security challenges:
- Open-door policies that welcome all can also create vulnerabilities
- Valuable artifacts or donations on-site can attract theft
- Controversial events or high-profile visitors may increase security risks
- Limited budgets often push security to a lower priority
Project 52 addresses these challenges by providing professional-grade security systems that might otherwise be out of reach for many religious organizations.
Benefits of Participating in Project 52

- Cost Savings: Receive a security system at no cost, allowing you to allocate funds to other important areas of your ministry.
- Community Building: Demonstrate your commitment to creating a safe environment for worship and community gatherings.
- Deterrence: The visible presence of a security system can discourage potential wrongdoers.
- Quick Response: In case of emergencies, have the ability to alert authorities rapidly.
