The website and resources we publish are designed to help church leaders with their legal, tax, financial, and risk management matters. Our goal is to educate church leaders about topics and issues they need to know, and then equip them to handle many of those issues themselves.

Much of our content is written by legal and accounting professionals who have both an ability to explain complex and technical topics in understandable ways and an appreciation for the nuances and issues unique to a church office environment. Richard Hammar, our co-founder, is a Harvard Law School graduate who has followed this subject matter for more than 40 years. To this day, he still remains active as a volunteer in his own local church.

A Basic Membership unlocks most of ChurchLawAndTax.com's content, which includes articles, certain webinars, the Church Law & Tax legal library, and occasional legal and tax updates.

An Advantage Membership, on the other hand, includes everything in the Basic Membership, plus exclusive access to certain webinars and expert-led cohorts, our weekly Advantage Member Insider e-newsletter, the Reducing the Risk training for child abuse prevention and response, and other content tailored specifically for our Advantage Members. Advantage Members also enjoy 20% off of all Church Law & Tax Store products, including books and downloadable resources from some of America's foremost experts on church law, tax, finance, human resources, technology, and risk management. Lastly, Advantage Members also enjoy full access to our comprehensive Church & Clergy Tax Guide (a $69.95 value!). Additional content access and benefits for Advantage Members will become available in 2025.

Along with timely new articles each month, our team works to update existing articles on the site to ensure they remain current and relevant. Topics we cover range from child abuse prevention strategies to church budgeting; church governance to cybersecurity; employment law to church payroll; and much, much more. Beyond the website articles, Church Law & Tax also creates videos covering these topics, and it also hosts occasional webinars covering different topics.

Finally, Advantage members also enjoy access to our weekly Advantage Member Insider newsletter, and receive a free, annual copy of our comprehensive and always-up-to-date Church & Clergy Tax Guide (a $69.95 value!)

With all of that said, Church Law & Tax is not a substitute for legal or accounting advice. Rather, when an issue is complex enough that hiring a professional is necessary, the information on our site can assist with establishing a basic knowledge and vocabulary. This ideally cuts down on the number of hours a church needs to then spend with a lawyer or accountant.

The cost of a one-year membership to ChurchLawAndTax.com is $129 per year for a Basic Membership and $199 per year for an Advantage Membership. Either option represents a fraction of the cost that just one single billable hour costs nowadays with a lawyer or accountant. Many attorneys and accountants, for instance, charge $250 to $400 per hour, with some at larger firms charging upwards of $800 to $1,200 an hour.
