Protecting Your Church Before a Crisis Means First Finding Your Bylaws
Most churches don’t think about their bylaws…until something goes wrong. In this episode, Pete and Sarah sit down with “ordained attorney” and longtime ministry leader Phil Kell to unpack why bylaws, boards, membership records, and minutes are not just “paperwork,” but essential tools for protecting your church, your people, and your Gospel witness. If you’ve ever wondered who really has authority in your church, what your members can (and can’t) vote on, or how dissolution and deed restrictions actually work, this conversation will help you get your house in order before a crisis hits.
