Feeding the Flock & Following the Law

What is it? 

This event is a specialized "Lunch and Learn" training designed for pastors, clergy, and church administrators to navigate the evolving legal landscape of the Johnson Amendment. In light of the recent 2025 IRS court filings and Executive Orders, the training provides a deep dive into how religious organizations can maintain their tax-exempt status while staying active in community advocacy. It moves beyond legal jargon to provide practical, real-world guidance for modern ministry.

The Goal:

The primary objective is to protect the prophetic voice of the pulpit while ensuring full legal compliance. The training aims to clear up confusion regarding new 2026 guidelines that suggest increased leniency for "usual channels of communication" in churches. Our goal is to empower leaders to lead with confidence, knowing exactly where the line is between nonpartisan advocacy and prohibited campaign intervention.

Key Benefits:

• Legal Clarity: Understand the specific impact of the latest Executive Order and IRS re-interpretations on 501(c)(3) status.
• Safe Advocacy Toolkit: Learn how to address moral and social issues from a religious perspective without risking IRS repercussions.
• Operational Security: Gain administrative best practices for church staff to keep organizational records and communications compliant.

The Process:

The event is structured as an interactive 90-minute session. It begins with a breakdown of the 2026 landscape, followed by tactical advice on safe advocacy and administrative compliance. The training concludes with an open Q&A session where experts in church-state relations answer specific situational questions from attendees.

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