David Gibbs, Jr.

The ministry of the Christian Law Association effectively began with a phone call from a pastor in Ohio. As a young attorney, David C. Gibbs, Jr. could hardly believe his ears as the pastor relayed how his church was being sued by the state for operating its ministry. As he reviewed the legal documents, Dr. Gibbs was astonished that such a thing could happen in modern America. From that very first case through the present day, God has blessed Dr. Gibbs’ commitment to legally help churches, pastors and Christians. The ministry has grown substantially through God's blessing over the last 40 years as attorneys, legal assistants and other ministry workers have joined our team of “legal missionaries.”
