The 19th Annual Church Law & Leadership Summit starts September 17


Hello Reader ,

The 19th Annual Church Law & Leadership Summit is this month.

For the first time ever, the summit is expanding to two days so church leaders have more time for training, networking, breakout conversations, live Q&A, and practical next steps.

Join us virtually:

September 17–18
11:00 AM–2:00 PM ET each day

Earlier this week, we celebrated my birthday with a special gift for YOU. 🎉

And I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss it.

When you register for the Summit by Sunday, September 6, you’ll receive four practical bonus resources designed to help your church put what you learn into action:

✔️ Leadership Transition Planning Checklist
Prepare your church for healthy leadership succession and long-term stability.

✔️ Church Property & Facility Use Checklist
Help identify potential risks and strengthen stewardship of your church’s facilities.

✔️ HR Essentials Checklist
Review key employment and volunteer practices that support a healthy ministry team.

✔️ Sample AI Use Policy for Churches
A professionally drafted policy to help your church establish thoughtful guidelines for the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Because attending the Summit is about more than gathering information.

It’s about becoming better equipped to steward the church you’ve been called to serve.

These bonuses give you practical tools you can bring back to your leadership team and begin using right away.

But the Birthday Bonus Bundle is only available when you register by Sunday, September 6.

If the Summit has been on your list, don’t miss the opportunity to join us—and receive these additional resources while you can.

I hope to see you there!

Blessings!
