Laws are changing, new issues are arising, and churches across the country are facing threats to their religious freedom.
Religious freedom issues didn’t begin with COVID-19. Churches have experienced threats to their religious freedom for many years.
As governments diminish or even disregard the importance of religious freedom, we see government officials seizing opportunities to discriminate against churches, such as during COVID-19.
Your association – and the churches within the association – can be prepared for these increasing threats to religious freedom.
ADF Church & Ministry Alliance is a membership program that provides practical religious liberty legal help. Through this program, churches and associations can be better prepared and protected when they encounter religious freedom threats.
As an associational leader, you provide resources and support in so many ways. Our desire is to come alongside you as you serve. To get access to religious liberty legal guides, consultations with religious liberty attorneys, and more, your churches and your association are invited to join ADF Church & Ministry Alliance.
This affordable membership program provides virtually all-inclusive legal help for religious freedom issues. As a member, your association can get the help you need, when you need it. And we’d like to partner with you to share this resource to association members.
Your member benefits:
When churches in your association join ADF Church & Ministry Alliance, they enter a nationwide network of like-minded churches that are committed to defending biblical principles on life, marriage, and religious freedom.
Churches in your association who join will also receive similar member benefits. We’ve heard many times that membership has brought Christian leaders peace of mind knowing they have a resource to turn to and an advocate standing by.
Contact us, and one of our team members will reach out to schedule a time to discuss membership with you. We’ll also provide you with two free resources for your church.

“Religious liberties have never been under fire in American History as intensely as they are in contemporary culture. At greatest risk for attack are local churches, especially smaller churches, that have limited resources. We chose ADF as an affordable and reliable legal advocate to support Tennessee Baptist churches in their defense of the faith. We needed a partner who shares our values and ADF is that partner.”
Randy C. Davis
President/Executive Director, Tennessee Baptist Mission Board

“At this point in the history of our country, it seems that challenges to religious liberties will continue to increase for churches. As church leaders lead believers to fulfill The Great Commission in the public arena, they will need an affordable and reliable legal advocate who shares their values. This is why BACE is excited to provide our members with access to ADF as a partner.”
