After our run as Strata, today we're stepping into a new name: ARX Training.
Same team. Same mission. Sharper focus.
Here's the why: Strata Fi****ms Training centered the fi****ms. But fi****ms were never the whole story — they're one tool in a much bigger toolkit. Most of what we actually do is help church safety teams build awareness, de-escalation, and the kind of quiet readiness that supports the mission instead of overshadowing it.
So we narrowed the name to widen the mission.
"Arx" is Latin for citadel — a fortified high place that watches and protects, but doesn't dominate. That's the kind of safety team we equip: present, prepared, and out of the way of everything else the church is trying to do.
If you've been with us as Strata — thank you. Truly. Your trust is the runway for everything we're doing next.
Find us going forward at . New site: arx-training.com. A new product (ARX Command) launching this spring.
New name. Same mission.

Today, we pause to salute the men and women serving on church safety teams. 🙏
Your quiet watch, steady presence, and willingness to prepare make worship safer for everyone.
Most people never see the hours of training, planning, and prayer you put in — but your impact is felt every Sunday. Thank you for protecting not just the building, but the community that gathers inside.

Why Church Safety Training Matters
Churches are meant to be safe places of worship — but violence against faith communities is rising nationwide. The FBI reports that active shooter incidents are increasing every year, and houses of worship are not immune.
Strata Fi****ms exists to prepare church safety teams with scenario-based training that equips volunteers, pastors, and leaders to respond effectively without losing sight of the church’s mission.
✅ Build a culture of safety
✅ Train your team with proven response methods
✅ Create peace of mind for your congregation

Every attendee in Modules 2 and 3 receives a Participant Guide—a workbook designed to reinforce learning during and after training. These guides are filled with practical information, clear takeaways, and extra resources, along with dedicated space for personal notes. They serve as an ongoing reference to help your team retain knowledge, stay prepared, and continue developing long after the course is complete.
