Your Church and Legal Issues
Tuesday, August 16, 2016
6:30 p.m.
MBA Office
Churches are exposed to the risk of being sued. Various requirements are imposed on us by the state and federal governments, and churches sometimes fail to comply. Churches have been hit with judgments, some of which have been multi-million dollar judgments. They have been subjected to government intrusion into their internal dealings. The main reason this happens is church leaders were operating with no knowledge of the legal requirements. The conference deals directly with what can be done to protect yourselves.State missionary, Jim Swedenburg will lead this conference. Although not required to attend, please pre-register here, or by contacting the MBA office no later than Thursday, August 11. Please note: this conference is subject to cancellation if not enough participants pre-register.
