YOUR CHURCH OR MINISTRY CAN NOW PREORDER OUR CHURCH & PASTOR PROTECTION PROGRAM

Since the recent Supreme Court ruling on homosexual marriage, we have received innumerable calls from churches and pastors asking what they can do to protect themselves from possible lawsuits, etc.
I am advising all to be prepared because SCOTUS has given the forces arrayed against Biblical morality reason to be emboldened like never before.

Lawsuits will likely escalate in number and intensity. I expect Christian businesses to be targets as well.
The days of ease and a sense of security are over. Churches must adopt a completely new mindset as well as new and very different procedures and policies.

Providing guidance on what to do to protect pastors, churches, ministries and other Christian organizations is complex. It cannot be encompassed within one lengthy email or a long phone conversation. I advise churches to first review the Church/Pastor Protection Checklist which is part of our new program and follow through on everything specified there. Click here for a PDF of the Church/Pastor Protection Checklist.

Then they should implement our new Church & Pastor Protection Program, which grew out of the recent Church Conference on Homosexuality & Sexual Misconduct where I presented a series of approaches to provide protections.

Our new Protection Program consists of:

3 DVDs of video presentation in which I provide background information from an historical and Biblical standpoint describing:

  • what is taking place in the culture,
  • what Christians can expect to occur over the coming months and years, and
  • how Christians and churches can best respond,
  • how they can best protect themselves, and
  • how pastors will find these DVDs useful in the preparation of sermons.

A CD containing multiple Model Forms designed to protect the church, such as:

  • proposed bylaw changes,
  • Declarations of Doctrine and Belief,
  • Church Facilities Use policies,
  • Marriage policy,
  • Cemetery use policy,
  • Employment Applications, and
  • Membership Agreements/Applications, etc.

A Handbook on Prevention of Legal Problems and Lawsuits describing how to avoid many legal problems and lawsuits and what to do if they occur.
