Last call for the Summit + a special giveaway 👀


Hello Reader ,

The countdown is almost over.

Registration for the Church Law & Leadership Summit closes tomorrow, September 16.

If you’ve been meaning to grab your ticket, now is the time.

On September 17–18, we’re bringing together church leaders and professionals who serve churches for two days of practical, need-to-know conversations about the legal, financial, operational, and leadership issues impacting ministries today.

And because we love a good bonus, we’re adding something special. 🎉

FIVE ATTENDEES WILL WIN A SIGNED BOOK

We’ll be drawing from all Summit ticket purchasers to select five people who will receive a signed copy of Lisa Fields’ latest book, When Heroes Fall.

What happens when the people who shaped your faith let you down? When a pastor, mentor, or ministry leader falls—and takes your trust with them?

When Heroes Fall is a compassionate and insightful guide to healing after betrayal, rebuilding trust, and finding your footing in faith again.

Lisa Fields walks alongside readers through one of the most painful spiritual experiences of our time and five Summit ticket purchasers will receive a signed copy.

Already purchased your ticket? You’re in the drawing.

Haven’t registered yet? There’s still time, but not much.

WHY BE IN THE ROOM?

Because church leadership comes with responsibilities that extend far beyond Sunday morning.

Governance. Finances. HR. Risk management. Compliance. Insurance. Policies. Leadership decisions.

You don’t have to become an expert in every one of these areas. The Summit brings each of these experts to you!

But it is important to know what questions to ask, what issues to recognize, and where to turn when you need help.

That’s why we created the Church Law & Leadership Summit.

And because this year’s Summit is fully virtual, you can join us wherever you are.

📅 September 17–18​
⏰ 11:00 AM–2:00 PM ET​
💻 100% Virtual​
👥 Individual + Team Registration Available

Individual and team packages also include access to the replays, so you can revisit the conversations after the Summit.

Registration closes TOMORROW.

AND WHILE WE HAVE YOU… SOMETHING NEW IS COMING 👀

The Summit isn’t the only thing we’ve been working on behind the scenes.

We’ve also been taking a fresh look at Faithful Foundations.

Church leaders have enough on their plates. Finding reliable legal education, practical resources, and trusted guidance shouldn’t make their jobs harder.

So we’ve been asking:

How can Faithful Foundations serve church leaders even better?

We’re not ready to share everything just yet.

But a new chapter of the Faithful Foundations membership is taking shape and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.

For now, there’s one thing we want you to do:

Plan to be at the Summit.

Registration closes tomorrow, and we would love to have you there.

See you there!

Blessings!
