Summary:  

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) began in 1993, with the purpose of serving as an alliance-building legal organization that advocates for the right of people to freely live out their faith.  ADF advocates specifically for:

  • The right of all people to freely live out their faith.
  • The sanctity of human life from conception until natural death.
  • The freedom of speech for all.
  • The sanctity of marriage and the truth that God has created us male and female.
  • The fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing, care, and education for their children.

The Alliance Defending Freedom aims to accomplish this by advocating in courtrooms and the public square, training lawyers, funding allies and critical cases.
