Local zoning laws could be a major factor in determining where you’re able to go if your church wants to add a campus at a separate location. As a result of discovering restrictions too late, some churches have found themselves fighting uphill battles with local authorities or have had to completely reconsider their multi-site expansion plans.
By understanding the legal protections available to churches, you may be able to avoid these difficulties. In this 6-minute video, Dr. Richard Hammar, legal counsel for the Assemblies of God, explains what you need to know.
