"I'M A LEADER, NOT A LAWYER!"


Ministry is hard. From preaching, teaching, and counseling to managing the finances, maintenance, and daily operations of a church, Christian leaders play many roles in their communities. Yet few faith leaders are trained to handle the legal issues that impact nearly everything they do, from hiring employees to dealing with taxes, property disputes, financial oversight, religious schools, and more.
 
The CSLR Study on Law and Ministry in the United States is conducting a nationwide questionnaire to learn how church leaders experience and address common legal issues affecting their ministries. We are listening to people like you to hear how state, local, and federal laws affect Christian organizations and ministries on a day-to-day basis.


WE CAN HELP.


Pastors, lay leaders, church officers, boardmembers, and other leaders of Christian ministries are invited to complete this questionnaire. Each response will contribute to a better understanding of the legal issues facing Christian organizations today and will help us develop new training resources for current and future leaders.

What if Church fundraising started with serving a community's financial needs and goals instead of feelings of guilt and scarcity? Giving Freedom: A Right-Side-Up Approach to Church Fundraising is an online course presented by Candler School of Theology. Featuring Rev. Adam Hamilton and eight leading experts, this online course offers practical strategies to inspire faithful giving.
 


...and a free book!
