Many pastors are unaware of the legal risks of their vocation. But pastors face many risks, and they can be held responsible for actions taken in the course of their ministry.
These handouts describe the main situations in which a pastor is personally liable for wrongdoing. Some of the situations are obvious, such as defamation. Some of them are less so, such as when a pastor can and cannot enter into a contract in the church's name. Use these handouts from Richard Hammar, the authority on church law, to train pastors, board members, and church administrators about the specifics of pastoral liability.
