“…get your fields ready; after that, build your house.” Proverbs 24:27
As churches and charities grow the range of activities they are involved in can grow too, from employing staff, managing volunteers, owning a building, to handling large sums of charitable money. All of which are subject to law and regulation.
Satisfying your legal responsibilities, in obedience to Christ (Romans 13:1-7) and out of love for those in contact with you, is an important part of a flourishing ministry. The reputational and relational damage when a organisation is not run well means legal compliance is something you can’t afford to ignore. Dealing with things proactively now, can help save money in the long run.
