Over the years, I have represented many churches assisting them with their legal matters. Pastor's Guide to Church Law is based on my law practice experience. In it I endeavor to introduce you to the common legal issues I daily see in my office. My list of clients includes small to very large churches with varied doctrine and belief systems. Chances are your organization would fit in my client list. This book is not intended to be exhaustive work on church law but representative of my practice with the intent of introducing church leaders to important laws and legal issues which apply to them. My Clarion Call is to alert church leaders to these laws and help them. If asked, lawyers would say "issue recognition" is key. Recognizing the legal issue at hand is critical for the church leader to know how to resolve it. This guide addresses key nonprofit legal issues. I have presented principles with examples which if followed will place your ministry on a more solid foundation. The book is peppered with illustrations to bring home a point. But you will not find many court cases with long opinions nor lengthy statutes. I have purposely avoided this because I wanted this book to flow with a more narrative rhythm. As such, we will start with the beginnings of a new church being formed, then through its operational years (staff, finances, property purchases, maintenance) through its dissolution. This is a truth I have discovered- regardless of the sign out front, churches face similar legal issues. Let's look at them together!

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy

I have 2!
Color: Coal Black
My office is in my loft. But there are things along the wall I don’t want to look at. These work great. Hides what I don’t want to see & is a classy look in the room. Sturdy, easy to assemble, well made.

Sturdy, Easy to Set Up, and Looks Great
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I’m really happy with this RANTILA 3-panel room divider. It was simple to set up, stands securely on its own, and gives plenty of privacy. The height is perfect, and the panels look clean and modern in my space. It’s lightweight enough to move around but still feels sturdy. Overall, a great divider that works exactly as I needed.

Not 6 ft
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I bought this for filming my auditions. I am 5’4” .The height lists is 6 ft but the fabric only reaches 5’9 1/2 “! when I must film myself head to toe, the top bars are showing. It’s easy to set up. But when I film I must tilt my camera to keep the top bars out of frame which is not acceptable.
