Well to those of us on a church security force this would represent an important and meaningful change.

Agreed.
Previously security had to be provided by licensed security outfits. That can get expensive real quick, locking smaller organizations out of providing security.
This is an intelligent fix to a difficult requirement.
Or - just conceal carry into church and don’t tell anybody. Two or three strategically-placed carriers is good, just don’t tell the preacher so he won’t get in trouble.
A specific issue arises with a church like ours which has a K-8 school on the campus along with a state law that prohibits firearms within 1K feet of a school. Yes, you could conceal carry, but if you are forced to draw your weapon you are risking a whole lot of additional legal jeopardy.
