Why we exist
We exist to equip faithful people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to protect those entrusted to their care — so that families are defended, communities are strengthened, and every protector stands ready to serve with both competence and character.
Our vision
To be the most trusted tactical training organization in Florida — where faith-centered communities know that choosing C22TS means choosing instructors who care about the character of their students as much as the competency of their skills.
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
Our core values
How we operate
Five values define how we work — in the classroom, on the range, and in the community.
- 01
Faith
The calling to protect is God-given, and every element of our training reflects reverence for that responsibility.
- 02
Discipline
Mastery is earned through consistent, rigorous practice. We hold ourselves and our students to the highest standard of preparation.
- 03
Excellence
In training, instruction, and communication, we set and maintain a professional standard that exceeds industry expectation.
- 04
Community
We are stronger together. C22TS exists within a web of relationships — students, churches, families, and the wider Tampa Bay region.
- 05
Stewardship
The authority to carry a firearm is a sacred trust. We train and equip people who will use that authority wisely.
