Join the legal membership that is proactively preparing and protecting Christian missions across the country.

Is Your Homeless Ministry Legally Prepared?

  • How is your shelter preparing for gender identity and sexual orientation issues - arising from guests, employees, volunteers, and more? 
  • Are you aware of strings attached to funding - asking ministries to alter their beliefs?
  • Are you concerned with how your ministry will thrive in a culture that can be hostile toward Christians?
  • Are your employment policies up to date?
  • Are your ministry's documents and policies written in ways that provide your ministry religious freedom protections?
  • Do you have a trusted legal partner who can help guide you in the midst of today's religious freedom threats?

The culture is changing. The changes in culture are leading to changes in law.      

Christian shelters and homeless ministries are increasingly under legal pressure for abiding by their principles. Ministering to this diverse community presents challenges. But those challenges shouldn’t include having to abandon your religious beliefs at the shelter door. These beliefs are what drove you to open your doors in hospitality and serve in this way.

All people that seek to serve should be free to do so – in accordance with their own convictions. So when ministries to the homeless community are targeted for their biblically based beliefs, all ministries should be concerned.

We at Alliance Defending Freedom advocate on behalf of ministries who seek to do ministry as they are called. That’s why we stand with women’s shelters who house – among their guests – victims of domestic abuse. One of our legal clients is a shelter that was investigated by the government for declining to allow men who identify as women to sleep just a few feet from these women. And we help with many other religious freedom issues that homeless shelters are increasingly facing in today’s changing culture.

We work to prepare and protect ministries like homeless shelters, so that you can minister to the vulnerable in your community. Your ministry can receive religious freedom legal help through ADF Ministry Alliance membership.

ADF has been on the forefront of legal issues impacting the religious freedom of individuals, businesses, schools, churches, and nonprofits for over 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.

That is why Alliance Defending Freedom launched ADF Ministry Alliance – to provide ministries like yours with the legal help you need to freely minister. Membership can help prepare and protect your ministry, without the traditionally high cost of robust legal consultation and support.

Don’t put your ministry at risk by facing legal issues alone

My recent experience with ADF and attorney Kyle had a very positive outcome. It gives me peace of mind, as a member of ADF, that I have someplace to turn to with questions as our society continues to challenge our Christian belief system. Thank you for your service to Christian organizations and our country.

Q:  Why does pricing for institutions of higher education differ from the pricing for other ministry types?

A:  Institutions of higher education experience greater complexity and diversity of religious freedom legal issues than do other ministry types. As a result, ADF attorneys have to devote considerably more time to ensure your institution is legally prepared, to the greatest extent possible, for the religious freedom threats it could face.
