These conditions have left many congregations reassessing their directions and priorities as they look for ways to move forward.

In this episode, Erika examines three principal ways a merger can be done. Using examples from her work as an attorney advising congregations going through mergers, she highlights key considerations and challenges for leaders to note. And as a...2022-11-2218 min
Church LawCan a Church Volunteer Get You Sued?Volunteers represent the lifeblood of most any church and finding enough of them is always a challenge.

In this episode, Erika delves further into the legal theories behind these potential vulnerabilities for churches, then offers quick tips that can help minimize them across key ministry areas where volunteers most often serve, including children’s and youth ministries, worship services, and transportation.
