Changing Culture = Church and Ministry Challenges

We want to help carry the legal burden

Hi, I'm Renée Read!

As a Regional Manager at the ADF Church & Ministry Alliance, I have the unique opportunity to serve churches and ministries. This position allows me to witness firsthand the cultural changes that are significantly influencing churches and ministries.
‍
For example, I saw when... 

  • Countless churches across the nation were forced by the government to shut their doors during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
  • Or when a Gospel rescue mission was sued for declining to hire someone who disagreed with the mission’s beliefs.
  • Or even when a Christian school was cut off from a scholarship program for low-income families and asked to pay back more than $100,000 because the school’s student handbook stated its belief that marriage is between a man and a woman.

These are real examples. And I wish I could tell you these are the exceptions, but unfortunately there are many other examples I could give you.
‍
Church and ministry leaders are the tip of the spear when it comes to engaging with today’s cultural challenges. You’ve answered the call to enter the darkness to bring the light of Christ and His love and truth to our culture.
‍
But sometimes these situations can expose your church or ministry to legal risk.
‍
That’s where Alliance Defending Freedom can help.

As a member of the ADF Church & Ministry Alliance, you can learn from experienced religious liberty attorneys eager to help you navigate the rapidly changing cultural and legal landscape, so you can get back to focusing on what matters most: serving people and sharing the Gospel.
‍
I would be honored to meet with you to learn more about what God is calling you and your ministry to and discuss how we can partner to better protect your church or ministry’s ability to freely serve others and advance the Gospel.

ADF leads the way, challenge after legal challenge, uniting our organization with other ministries from across the country to help strengthen religious freedom.
