As our culture continues to shift, daycares are increasingly being brought into the turmoil. Marriage has been redefined in our nation’s laws, and now the very definition of “sex” is being challenged at local, state, and even the federal levels.

These cultural shifts make it even more difficult to live out the Christian mission within your ministry. The impact poses legal risks to your ministry that were unimaginable a decade ago.

Without proper advice and safeguards in place, daycare ministries have mounting legal burdens relating to many aspects of the law:employment, sexual orientation and gender identity, free speech, facility use, government regulations, access to public property and grants, tax exemption issues, and more. Your ministry to parents, children, and others shouldn’t be hindered by laws that encroach on your religious freedom. These burdens can distract you from the core mission of your ministry, threatening how you minister.

The risks of not being prepared are high. Critical governance documentation may be incomplete or need to be updated. Ministries may be unsure how to handle issues, or feel as though they are prohibited from addressing issues they actually have the freedom to address. Without legal help, parenting ministries may, even unknowingly, surrender many of their First Amendment rights that are central to their existence.

ADF Ministry Alliance provides Christian nonprofits with the religious liberty help they need – whenever they need it. That way, ministries can continue to live out their missions and impact the world in Jesus’ name.

Membership in ADF Ministry Alliance helps you prepare and protect your ministry, without the traditionally high cost of robust legal consultation and support. We invite your ministry to apply for membership today.
