The church policy and procedure documents below are samples and demonstrative only. The purpose of these documents are to help churches address important topics and to ask the right questions in preparing their own policies and procedures. Each individual church is unique in its membership, staff, polity, campus layout and location.  Each organization should tailor the policies and procedures to meet the needs of its particular group and faith tradition. Including scriptural references is encouraged, although not legally required.

You should not act or rely on information contained in this document without seeking appropriate professional advice.
