Affordable Religious Freedom Legal Help for Churches
It's becoming harder for leaders to navigate the legal and cultural issues their churches face. Many activists and government officials are pushing laws and policies that would prevent churches from operating according to their biblical beliefs. It is no longer a question of if churches will be threatened or sued for standing true to God’s Word – the question is when and where such cases will arise. Your church needs to be prepared.
How is your church preparing to handle situations that arise from sexual orientation and gender identity ideology that is contrary to biblical teaching?
These challenges can arise from employees, volunteers, youth groups, use of your facilities, and more. Your church needs to be equipped to handle these situations and be aware of changing laws so you know how to respond.You also need access to trusted legal counsel when questions arise.
Are your church’s governing documents written in a way that provides the most legal protection for your church?
Your bylaws, policies, and other governing documents can help protect your church’s religious freedom. These documents can serve as evidence of your church’s beliefs, so it is imperative that they clearly communicate what your church believes to your congregation, community, and, if necessary, the courts.
How would your church address religious freedom legal challenges?
Opponents have treated churches unfairly by denying churches equal access to government grants or property, manipulating zoning codes to prevent churches from using their own buildings, forcing churches to comply with unconstitutional regulations that violate their beliefs, and more. Your church needs to know its rights and have a legal advocate who can help when you need it.
Several Church of God State Offices have partnered with the ADF Church Alliance to prepare and protect your church – for these issues and other religious liberty challenges.
The ADF Church Alliance provides direct access to experienced religious freedom attorneys, so you can get back to focusing on what matters most: serving your community and sharing the Gospel.
The largest religious liberty legal organization in the world, Alliance Defending Freedom, has been advocating for religious freedom, sanctity of life, and marriage and family since 1994. Alliance Defending Freedom recognized the increasing legal issues facing churches, and launched ADF Church Alliance to serve the Church and keep the legal doors open for the spread of the Gospel.
