Case study: Bellevue Baptist Church

Challenge: Managing Master Keys

Bellevue Baptist church in Owensboro, Kentucky holds 5 services in 4 languages on a weekly basis. With nearly
1500 regular members, various schools, teams and other community groups calling Bellevue Baptist home, controlling access to different parts of their church is vital.

With a mechanical key system in place, Bellevue found that an unnecessary number of Master Keys were created. Pastor Adam Neel states “We started with 24 but the final count was somewhere around 70 keys.” 70 keys with the ability to open nearly any door in the church was problematic when it came to managing who entered the building and where they moved within the building.
