Without properly prepared church documents in place, and a team that lives out what those governing documents say, your church is more exposed to legal risk.
These documents are important. Not only do they help guide your ministry, but they can also be used as evidence in the courtroom.
ADF Church Alliance attorneys have helped hundreds of churches – and their leadership teams – understand what is missing in their governing documents. Our attorneys review your church documents with religious freedom and Gospel impact in mind, so your church can be better prepared and protected. We come alongside your church to help maintain its integrity and witness to the culture, to the congregation, and to the courts.
As the culture shifts, the Church faces increased threats. It is important to take action to ensure that your religious freedom is upheld.
Well-written governing documents will help provide legal protection by clarifying your church’s sincerely held beliefs on important matters.
When your church puts these beliefs in writing, and consistently abides by these beliefs, you often have a more easily defensible position in court.
