Legal Services for Church & Non-Profits in Rural Kansas

For church and nonprofit leaders, there are always many responsibilities, people to care for, and decisions to make. While your focus is on serving others, we help ensure your organization is protected and supported legally.

At Harvest Legal, we work with churches, ministries, and nonprofit organizations across Emporia, the Flint Hills, and surrounding rural Kansas communities. With honesty and integrity, our goal is to provide legal guidance that helps you operate responsibly, govern effectively, and reduce risk — so you can stay focused on your mission.

Our church and nonprofit legal services commonly include:

  • Formation and start-up documents, including bylaws

  • Governance and board matters, including working with boards of directors

  • Employment matters and contracts

  • Operational and regulatory compliance

  • Developing policies for staff members and volunteers

  • Property matters

  • Risk management, including reviewing safety and security measures

  • Ongoing legal counsel for churches and nonprofit organizations

Whether your organization is operating in a season of stability or navigating a moment of challenge, we understand your desire to conduct your ministry or nonprofit work in a way that upholds the law, protects your people, and reflects your values. We’re here to support you in that work.
