The list of legal issues encroaching on the rights of ministries is much more extensive than the above matters. These clear trends require action in order to be reversed.
Alliance Defending Freedom has been on the forefront of legal issues impacting the religious freedom of businesses, churches, nonprofits and individuals for over 25 years.
We at Alliance Defending Freedom created ADF Ministry Alliance membership so you can get the religious liberty legal help you need, when you need it. We prepare, advise, and even represent ministries because we desire to see your mission flourish.
If we stand together, proactively preparing and protecting one another, we can continue glorifying God through our missions – using biblical principles – and doing so in freedom.

The ADF Ministry Alliance Membership provides you with trending updates and customized legal advice from religious freedom attorneys.

ADF serves the client needs of a variety of parachurch ministries, including financial ministries, homeless shelters, food banks, marriage and parenting ministries.
Global and local ministry support is not just limited to Christian camps or outreach ministries. New communities mean new opportunities for the Gospel to be heard. But in America, Christians don’t enjoy the same inviting cultural and legal climate that we once did.
Whether you're launching a prison ministry or an apologetics ministry, ADF offers the tools to serve you. We understand who you are as a Christian ministry.

The culture is changing. These changes in culture are leading to changes in the law.
Ministries are facing increasing legal attacks that threaten their ability to serve. We at Alliance Defending Freedom created this membership for ministries so that you can get the religious liberty legal help that you need, when you need it. With personalized legal help, your ministry can flourish.
Alliance Defending Freedom has been on the forefront of legal issues impacting the religious freedom of businesses, churches, nonprofits and individuals for 25 years. We have seen the changes in our culture lead to legal challenges that threaten the ability of Christians to freely live and share the Gospel.
The threats to Christian ministries are especially troubling. Special interest groups and governments view Christian ministries simply as "businesses" without considering the religious nature of their work.
This means areas of your ministry that are critical to your Christian identity - like who you employ, how you serve and where you serve, to name a few - are being challenged.
We care about Christian ministries because Alliance Defending Freedom is a ministry too. Your rights are our rights. Our missions are how we glorify God in our work. If we lose our ability to do this work - and to do so with integrity - then we are no longer free to live and share the Gospel as we are called.
If we stand together and proactively prepare and protect one another, we can see our ministries and Gospel witness flourish.
We want to see every ministry engaged, empowered, and protected, for the good of the Gospel. ADF Ministry Alliance membership reflects our desire to see all churches' religious liberty legal needs served.

To Prepare Ministries for the Changing Culture
Send your ministry bylaws, policies, employment documents, and more to ADF attorneys. We review them and help you implement proactive religious freedom protections. That way, you have thorough documents that can serve as positive evidence in the courtroom if needed.
Get direct answers from our attorneys whenever you have legal questions about your ministry’s religious liberty. This access guides you through your legal options, so that you can have peace of mind when confronting legal issues and even media inquiries.
If the religious freedom of your ministry is challenged, we will represent it if necessary. Not only does membership provide advocacy for your ministry if needed, but it also ensures other ministries have access to representation. You can be confident of a strong ally in the courts, protecting your religious freedom.
Ensure ministries have the legal representation they need by committing to membership.
Thorough ministry documents can serve as positive evidence in the courtroom. Additionally, members face peace of mind when confronting legal issues or changes. ADF Ministry Alliance also helps clarify how your ministry is distinctly Christian.

Today's legal culture makes going to court costly. Advocating all the way to the Supreme Court - as Alliance Defending Freedom has done successfully nine times since 2011 - can cost over $1 million per case. ADF Ministry Alliance membership makes protecting religious freedom affordable.
The price of an ADF Ministry Alliance membership is based on the ministry's annual revenue. Membership is a yearly agreement.

The ADF Church Alliance was established to support the ever growing needs of churches across the United States. Launched in 2017, it has steadily developed into a robust service to protect, counsel and engage churches for their religious liberty. Now it has expanded to support ministries beyond conventional churches.
