Protecting Christian Business
Contributed by Christian Employers Alliance
When Christian employers stand alone, they are vulnerable. When they stand together, they become a force.
Christian CEOs are facing unprecedented pressure from federal agencies, activist regulators, and shifting cultural mandates. Too many are standing alone — and that is exactly why the Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) exists.
A National Defense Line
CEA serves as the government relations firm for Christian employers nationwide — the national defense line that protects Christian businesses and ministries when their convictions collide with government overreach.
“CEA is the government relations firm for Christian employers nationwide. We are the national defense line protecting Christian businesses and ministries when their convictions collide with government overreach. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how CEA can serve your members with clarity, strength, and conviction.”
— Margaret Iuculano, President, CEA
The Immediate R.O.I.
Instant Legal Protection
Joining CEA provides immediate legal protection through federal court injunctions, preventing government intrusion without the need for individual lawsuits.
Operational Clarity
CEA moves convictions “off the wall” and into actionable policy by providing the specific language needed to align health plans and employee handbooks with biblical truth.
Legislative Accountability
Through the Biblical Business Index (BBI), CEA provides the nation’s first scorecard exposing which lawmakers stand with biblical values and which do not.
Three Steps to Immediate Protection
01
Identify and Enroll
Businesses join the Alliance to unify with a national network of thousands of faith-based leaders.
02
Activate the Injunctions
Members receive immediate legal protection via federal court injunctions in cases such as CEA v. Azar and CEA v. EEOC.
03
Operationalize Conviction
CEA provides the template letters and plan-document language to ensure insurers and TPAs fully implement these court-ordered exemptions.
The Five Freedoms
CEA’s advocacy and protection are built on a comprehensive strategy designed to ensure that no Christian employer must compromise their faith to conduct business.
First Freedoms — Protecting religious expression and speech in the marketplace.
Workforce Freedom — Securing mission-aligned hiring and protecting employers from pronoun mandates and compelled speech.
Economic Freedom — Advocating for pro-growth tax policies that prioritize families as the engine of prosperity.
Operational Freedom — Defending against activist regulators so businesses can lead without government intrusion.
Healthcare Freedom — Blocking mandates tied to abortion coverage and gender-transition procedures through permanent federal injunctions.
