Your voice is your mission—let’s make sure it’s protected.


Navigating the intersection of faith and public life can feel like walking a tightrope. With recent updates to the Johnson Amendment following the latest Executive Order, it is more important than ever for clergy and church administrators to know exactly where the lines are drawn.


Join us for an engaging Lunch and Learn where we’ll break down the legal jargon into plain English. We’re providing the food and the facts so you can lead your congregation with confidence and clarity.


What We’ll Cover:

  • The 2026 Landscape: A clear breakdown of the updated guidelines and what they mean for your pulpit.
  • Safe Advocacy: How to speak out on critical community issues without risking your 501(c)(3) status.
  • Administrative Best Practices: Practical tips for church staff to keep operations compliant.
  • Q&A Session: Get your specific questions answered by experts in church-state relations.


Why Attend?

Whether you are a seasoned pastor or a new administrator, this training is designed to empower your leadership. You’ll walk away with a toolkit of resources to help your church remain a powerful, prophetic voice in the community while staying fully protected under the law.


Lunch is on us, but the insight is for the whole mission. RSVP today to save your seat at the table!
