Employees must know risk factors and activities associated with work-related MSDs.

3. Better churches require employees to work safely and provide the tools necessary to do so.

What is Law and Church?

Churches are vulnerable and unprotected because the policies, processes, and bylaws that protect the church are outdated and time consuming. Church leaders need a simple, affordable, expert way to protect their churches with good policies and procedures. Law and Church is a weekly podcast presented by The Church Law Group, and hosted by pastor and attorney Josh Bryant. We interview prominent church leaders from around the country including Dr. Thom Rainer, Jim Sheppard, and more to discover how we can better lead our churches in policy, process, and risk management while we strive to advance the gospel of Christ in a legally compliant and safe way.
