No all security jobs require you to carry a gun. Some security jobs at the department malls or schools actually forbid people from carrying guns.

Most security jobs are what people call "flashlight cops." They usually only carry a flashlight and keys, no gun. There are armed security guard positions though.

Should church security carry a firearm?

Church security should carry a firearm within the same parameters as any security guard. Most security jobs have the possibility of involving use of force, and if the security guard has to defend his life, having a gun would be a great advantage. If you mean should they carry firearms because they are at a church, being at a church does not preclude the possibility of needing to defend your life. Also, the Bible says in a couple of places that self defense is acceptable.
