Every Gospel-centered church and ministry is uniquely called to fulfill a specific mission. But in a secular culture opposed to biblical truths, these missions—integral to the body of Christ—are facing new and complex challenges. The ADF Church & Ministry Alliance exists to provide legal counsel and resources to ensure that churches and ministries are free to operate, teach, and serve, consistent with God’s call.
ADF attorneys can offer guidance on religious liberty issues, help you understand the legal significance of the language you use to describe your ministry, and draw your attention to potential legal issues that could impact your kingdom work. We want you to have peace of mind, ensuring you stand on a firm legal foundation.
Access educational resources focused on legal and cultural matters impacting churches and ministries, such as interactive webinars, practical legal guides, on-demand videos, and Christian worldview resources.
Receive curated updates and insights to help you navigate complex legal and cultural issues.
Be part of a community of like-minded church and ministry leaders who are standing up for religious freedom and shaping culture by living out the truths of the Gospel.
Equip your congregation and community with training, job opportunities, and resources designed to address legal challenges and help shape a biblical worldview.
"ADF leads the way, challenge after legal challenge, uniting our organization with other ministries from across the country to help strengthen religious freedom. We have no other partner so vital to the work we do. We are grateful for them, and encourage every Christian ministry that holds to biblical standards to join with ADF and help support them financially. When there’s a need — and there are plenty — they stand in the gap and support our Christian communities."
David Goodwin
President, Association of Classical Christian Schools
"Without question, Alliance Defending Freedom is one of the most important organizations in America. I not only endorse their ministry, but am happy to serve on the faculty of their Blackstone Legal Fellowship program. They are the premier religious liberty advocacy organization in America and their Church & Ministry Alliance program is a trusted measure to ensure that churches and ministries are pursuing the necessary policies to protect their God-given liberties."
Dr. Andrew T. Walker
Associate Professor of Christian Ethics, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"We call those who defend us ‘advocates' - a word with deep meaning describing someone with the skill, experience, and will necessary to fight and win. ADF and their highly qualified attorneys embody everything it means to be a true advocate. We encourage all AACS member schools to join ADF’s Church & Ministry Alliance program. Their work for religious liberty, their will to win, and their track record of victories make partnership with them one of the best investments a ministry can make."
Jamison Coppola
Government Relations Director, American Association of Christian Schools
"Alliance Defending Freedom’s Church & Ministry Alliance program is especially needed now. Not only do pastors and houses of worship face unprecedented threats, but even more so church members who are committed to bringing their faith into their everyday lives. Our freedom to believe, worship, and arrange our lives according to our most deeply held beliefs cannot be taken for granted, and ADF’s Church & Ministry Alliance program offers the network, the expertise, and the road map every church needs."
John Stonestreet
President, Colson Center
"Institutions across biblical higher education face legal and social headwinds that are becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. I can’t think of a better time for ABHE colleges and universities to join the Alliance Defending Freedom with its full range of services. You need ADF in your corner so that your institution can stay on mission!"
