Standing with Churches Across America

We advise and equip churches to help minimize liability and maximize ministry in today’s complex culture.

Legal Health Checkup

This series offers vital information to protect your organization from legal threats, frivolous lawsuits, and compliance issues.

Protect Parents’ Rights

We defend your responsibility to nurture your children’s spiritual, physical, emotional, moral, academic, and professional growth.

Defend Individual Liberty

As powerful interests attempt to silence Christians, we help faithful employers, employees and citizens exercise your rights in a hostile culture.

Stand for Life

Our partners receive individual legal counsel to assist with difficult end-of-life or pregnancy issues.

Fight for Life on Every Front

We fight for the lives of the weakest among us — especially those who cannot plead for help on their own behalf.

The need is great. The time is short.

The NCLL serves to protect and defend the Bible-based values upon which our nation was founded. We will endeavor to protect and defend these important foundational areas that support our freedoms: Life Values, Constitutional Values, Church Liberty, Christian Education, and Homeschool Education.

Church Liberties

A community’s health directly reflects the faithful work of its churches and the influence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Parental Liberties

God established the family as the foundation of a strong society, reflecting His nature, long before any government existed.

Individual Liberties

We defend your First Amendment freedoms to exercise religion, speak freely, associate, petition government, and of the press.

Issues of Life

Life, at every stage, is your greatest right as God’s image-bearer. Every other liberty depends on this core freedom.

Putting Together a Safety Plan

An overwhelming majority of churches who responded to recent surveys admitted that they have no safety or security plan. Despite the numerous tragic incidents reported in the news in recent years, many regular churchgoers still have not thought of church safety, and others still have a this-will-never-happen-to-us mindset. Some even insist on ignoring practical safety measures because they just need to have faith that God will take care of them.

Our Church Legal-Health Seminar series is an opportunity for pastors and ministry leaders to educate themselves in a face-to-face setting, allowing them to stay up to date on church legal affairs. When you attend a seminar in your area, you’ll meet David Gibbs III in person as he talks to dozens of people just like you about key issues facing churches. You can ask questions and receive direct, practical help for your ministry, whether you need specific information about a pressing legal matter or just an organizational “checkup.” All attendees receive a comprehensive manual that is an excellent reference tool long after the final session has ended.
