Affordable, God-honoring legal solutions serving churches, nonprofits, and faith-based businesses. 

God-honoring legal solutions

  • When God puts a call on your heart, it’s time for action. We provide legal solutions to get your ministry business up and running, grow with mergers and joint ventures even dissolve when God calls for a new path.

  • Your leadership needs the right tools to effectively govern. We provide bylaws, board policies and procedures, all tailored for your needs. We even provide board training and planning sessions.

  • Fundraising and donor relations are essentials for most ministries - but they can also be the biggest mine field to navigate. We can help you do it right with above-reproach methods. We can also help with alternative funding models beyond donations, including monetization and impact capitalization for faith-based for-profits.

  • We can help with employee handbooks, policies, and practices, as well as employment contracts, proper contractor classification, and termination issues.

  • A complete risk management program, including the right insurance, policies and procedures, is essential to the longevity and health of your ministry. We are highly skilled in creating plans tailored for your programs. From facilities, to children and youth, to missions and volunteers, the time to address your risks is before the crisis comes.

  • Intellectual property issues are a part of any modern ministry business. Let us provide you with website management and social media policies, trademarks and copyrights, work-for-hire and license agreements.

For His Glory Law (FGHL) is uniquely qualified to be your ministry law partner. After 20 years in the private practice of law, God radically re-directed my life to seminary classes and vocational ministry.

I understand your ministry needs and will craft a unique legal solution to meet those needs. I also understand your ministry finances. Our pricing is transparent and sliding-scale, based on the type and size of your ministry. Quality law at affordable prices,…all For His Glory!
