Key Takeaways

1) One of the most critical things every church can do is to do a legal audit of their preparedness concerning the many shifting issues facing the church.

2) Dustin shares that his most significant concern for all churches is the change in how state governments can inspect local churches through the State’s Attorney General’s office. This is a new wrinkle dealing with how donations are accounted for in the local church with serious consequences.

3) All churches have the legal right to use the Bible as their authority when relating to issues where society disagrees with the church’s stance. However, you must be proactive versus reactive by having documented policies, procedures, and membership guidelines before an issue arises.

4) My Church Law Firm is passionate about coming along beside small and midsize churches to help them prepare for any issues that may arise. They are constantly reviewing court-led decisions regarding how they affect local churches and non-profits.
