We believe churches and ministries are essential in illuminating truth and eternal hope in our society. This light—the Gospel—is one that culture and many of our laws seek to dim.
That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom established the Church & Ministry Alliance.
We exist to safeguard your religious freedom from cultural pressures and an overreaching government. We want to equip your ministry with legal support and education so you can freely pursue your calling.
Our team is comprised of Christian attorneys and advocates who share your commitment to and excitement for the Gospel. By joining the ADF Church & Ministry Alliance, you can confidently know that your ministry stands on a firm legal foundation.
ADF Church & Ministry Alliance is the simplest, most practical, and affordable way to help a church protect its religious freedoms. I urge you and your congregation to be a part of this partnership and assistance of devoted Christian attorneys who have and will continue to safeguard our traditions. ADF Church & Ministry Alliance helps churches get a peace of mind that comes by knowing ADF’s documents and practices are both up-to date and well positioned to safeguard the Church’s biblical standards.

In its long-standing efforts to defend the religious liberty of all citizens, The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod has sought out trusted partners with whom we can make common cause. ADF is just such an organization. Through its new Church & Ministry Alliance program, ADF now offers individual congregations and schools an affordable opportunity to partner more directly with it, providing them with easy access to expert legal counsel, and a means of showing solidarity with the broader religious community on this crucial issue. To that end, we hope you will seriously consider becoming a member of the Alliance.
