FAQs
What is church law?
Church law covers the unique legal issues that ministries and faith-based organizations face, including governance, property, employment, and constitutional protections.
Why do churches need legal counsel?
Churches operate under unique regulations and face risks that standard corporate law doesn’t cover. A church law attorney ensures compliance while safeguarding ministry freedom.
Can a church be sued like a business?
Yes. Churches can face lawsuits related to employment, property disputes, negligence, or even constitutional claims. Having legal counsel helps minimize exposure and defend the church if issues arise.
How can legal counsel help protect church leadership?
Attorneys specializing in church law advise pastors and boards on governance, contracts, and risk management—helping shield leadership from personal liability.
Do small churches need church law attorneys, too?
Absolutely. Even small congregations face legal issues such as employment laws, tax compliance, and property agreements. Preventive legal guidance can save significant costs later.
