MARIETTA, Ohio - TelAve -- Shepherdly™ App Set to Launch on Apple and Android Platforms, Empowering Church Security Teams Nationwide

Parkersburg, WV — 4/11/2026— TEN:11 Defense today announced that its highly anticipated mobile application, Shepherdly™, is in the final stages of development and will soon be available for download on both Apple and Android app stores. Designed specifically for houses of worship, Shepherdly™ equips church security teams with the tools they need to communicate, coordinate, and respond with clarity and confidence—when it matters most.

In a time when the safety of congregations has become an increasing concern, Shepherdly™ was created with a singular mission: to ensure every house of worship in America has access to a simple, effective, and unified system to protect their flock—operationally and educationally.

"Churches invest heavily in worship, community, and outreach—but safety is often left to chance," said Melvin J. A. Mendoza, Founder of TEN:11 Defense. "Shepherdly™ brings structure, awareness, and real-time coordination to volunteer security teams so they can operate with purpose, professionalism, and ongoing preparedness."

Shepherdly™ is more than an app—it is part of a broader mission led by TEN:11 Defense to support, train, and equip houses of worship across the country. The platform bridges the gap between training and real-world execution, ensuring teams are not only equipped to act—but continually learning and improving.

"Our goal is not just to help teams respond," Mendoza added. "It's to ensure they are always prepared—mentally, tactically, and spiritually—for whatever may come."

By combining real-time coordination tools with ongoing education, Shepherdly™ helps create a culture of readiness, vigilance, and peace of mind within every congregation.

Availability

Shepherdly™ is scheduled for full release in Summer 2026, with early access being offered to TEN:11 Defense training partners. Churches nationwide will be able to subscribe and implement the platform as part of their security protocols.
