We live in a world of constant change. Particularly is this so today in light of the tremendous number of lawsuits being filed. Some of these changes affect the church, its staff and members in significant ways.
We recognize and appreciate the total autonomy and complete self-governance of the local church and that the church cooperates with the local association and the Kansas-Nebraska Convention of Southern Baptists (KNCSB). However, in light of the fact that the local church is facing tremendous pressures today with increased litigation, regulation and taxation in so many forms, KNCSB has put together some basic information and suggestions concerning legal, tax and financial issues that we trust will be helpful.
The information is certainly not exhaustive. Its purpose is to call these areas to the attention of the church leadership. This information needs serious study, consideration and possible action by various committees and in some cases, the church as a whole.
You may print the entire resource book, or you may select an individual section or illustration as shown below. If you would like to be able to personalize any of the illustrations for your church, go to “Contact Us” under “Quick Links” to let us know which illustration(s) you need, and we will gladly e-mail them to you in Word format.
