Your church will have more than one legal question this year

Published about 6 hours ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader ,

Our October Legal Briefing is focused on one important issue:

Church governance.

But if you serve in ministry leadership, you already know that governance is not the only legal question your church will face.

Another month, the question may involve employment.

Or church policies.

Or contracts.

Or property.

Or compliance.

Or how your board should handle a particular decision.

The challenge is that legal questions rarely arrive according to your schedule.

That’s why Faithful Foundations is built around something bigger than individual trainings.

It is designed to help church leaders develop an ongoing foundation of legal awareness and preparation.

Faithful Foundations members receive access to the Legal Briefing Series and replays, giving leaders recurring opportunities to learn about legal issues affecting churches.

Our October 27 briefing is a good example:

Pastor, Board, or Congregation? Who’s in Charge?

You can attend this briefing individually for $50.

But if you know your church would benefit from ongoing legal education throughout the year, I encourage you to look at Faithful Foundations instead.

The objective isn’t to turn church leaders into lawyers.

It is to help leaders recognize legal issues sooner, ask better questions, and make more informed decisions.

That kind of preparation can make a significant difference in how your church approaches leadership and operations.

Hello Reader , We’re three days away from our next Faithful Foundations Legal Briefing.

Hello Reader , One of the most common questions church leaders face is: Who actually has the authority to make this decision? On October 27, we’re taking that question head-on.
