FAITH-BASED TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT



Kingdom Gatekeeper Academy

Transform Your Front-Line with 21 Gatekeeper

Specialized training that equips faith-based Front-Line personnel with the acumen to be Kingdom Peacemakers in their ministry roles.  

INSIGHTS ON TRAINING

After transitioning from being a Police Officer, I found a passion in Church Security. Since 2016, I have been actively serving in a Church Security role-whether volunteering as an Armed Team Member, Team Leader, Church Security Intern, Church Security Training Coordinator, to Church Security Director. In 2017, I found out that I had a passion for TEACHING and DEVELOPING others. God was making it clear to me, that PROTECTIVE CARE and PASTORAL CARE was a blend that I was to bring in my teachings. 


The content I bring is from an Authentic and RAW place of helping move Front-Line volunteers from where they're at to where God has CALLED them and their Ministry to be.  Faith-Based Frontline Training by someone who knows and lives on the Frontline of Ministries. 

The Outcome

Transform Your Frontline with 21 Gatekeeper

Imagine a team that doesn't just know what they can do...

but knows what they're called to do.


  • A manager that knows their role in the Kingdom, not just their position in the company


  • Volunteers who pray and serve with Kingdom authority, not just stand on duty


  • Leaders who see past behavior and speak to the heart


  • Officers with eyes trained to spot emotional and spiritual battles-not just physical threats


  • A frontline culture where the Holy Spirit is welcomed, not just the checklist followed


This isn't just about safety.

It's about building frontlines that shift atmospheres and restore lives.


We're not just establishing safer homes, workplaces, and churches.

We're awakening warriors with clarity, courage, and Kingdom authority.



What Makes 21 Gatekeeper Different

Spirit-led Coaching that Reclaims Kingdom Identity and Purpose

We don't offer motivational tips of what to do. We create authentic space for leaders to awaken to who they are and where they're called.

Tactical Training Built on Biblical Foundations

Not just referencing security principles in the Bible, but practicing biblical principles through every decision.

Safety That Extends Beyond the Physical

We train for threats, but we're also building teams who carry spiritual authority and emotional strength under pressure.

A Warrior-Mindset, Kingdom-Deployed Model

Our goal isn't crowd control, it's Kingdom Alignment. Because Kingdom-Mission Believers should be anchored in their Kingdom Identity, not just armed with tactics.

Spiritually Dangerous Teams, Not Just Tactically Capable Ones

A trained team can clear a room.

A transformed team can fill it with peace. 

Spiritual Thermostats in a World of Cultural Thermometers

Your team shouldn't just secure the building, they should shift the atmosphere from the parking lot to the pulpit. Amongst hostility, insecurity, and false identity running rampant, when your team arrives on-site, the Kingdom of God has just arrived.

About Mike Simmons | Founder of 21 Gatekeeper

Equipping Kingdom Gatekeepers to Lead, Protect, and Transform

I spent years in various Private Security roles, Law Enforcement, and Church Security. I had undergone various training as well as conducted years of training church teams how to respond to threats. How to spot danger. Move tactically. Act under pressure. But along the way, as I grew in my relationship with God, a deeper purpose grew within me.


You can have the best-trained team in the building...and still miss the Kingdom assignment at the door.


I was Trained. Skilled. Respected. But I was spiritually empty. I had a role. A title. A badge. But I didn't know who I was. I didn't know my True Identity. My identity was in something other than my Kingdom Identity assigned to me by God.


Once I had the AWAKENING of my Kingdom Identity being discovered, there was clarity, purpose, and transformation.


21 Gatekeeper is living out the calling to do more than train hands for action.

I'm here to exist in the gap that separates people from who they think they are to who God created them to be. 

What I Believe:

 Training prepares the hands. Coaching restores the heart.   


Kingdom Deployment must flow from Kingdom Identity.


To be the hands of Jesus, you must be transformed at the feet of Jesus.
