Church Launch, powered by Reynolds Law Group, PLLC, is a turnkey legal program designed to simplify and safeguard the process of starting a new church.
We partner with pastors, planters, and ministry leaders to handle the legal and organizational details—so you can focus on the calling God’s placed on your life. From incorporation to tax-exempt status, we walk with you through every critical step with clarity, care, and confidence.
The goal is simple: remove the legal headaches so you can launch strong and lead well. Starting a church is both a spiritual journey and a legal undertaking.
We help you lay a firm legal foundation so your church is protected, credible, and equipped to grow from day one. What sets Church Launch apart is that it’s personal, pastoral, and professional. Every service is tailored to reflect your church’s unique mission and leadership structure—from customized bylaws to ongoing legal counsel and proven best practices.
Founding attorney Glenn S. Reynolds brings over 30 years of ministry experience as a church planter, executive pastor, and lead pastor. He’s helped launch, lead, and advise churches of all sizes and stages. We understand both the sacred calling and the legal complexity—because we’ve lived it.
Launch with Confidence: Protect Your Church from Day One
Partnering with Church Launch ensures your church is legally protected, structured, and positioned for growth from day one. We provide IRS-compliant foundational documents that make it easier to secure 501(c)(3) tax-exempt recognition, build trust with banks, donors, and grantmakers, and avoid the paperwork pitfalls that can delay your mission.
With our guidance, you won’t just be filling out forms—you’ll be laying a solid legal and organizational foundation for your ministry to thrive. Most importantly, we offer peace of mind. Because at Church Launch, we don’t just check boxes—we build confidence in your calling, clarity in your process, and credibility in the eyes of those you’re called to reach.

"The Hardy Group is honored to partner with Glenn Reynolds and Church Launch. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Glenn for over twenty years—watching him plant and grow a thriving church in Des Moines, Iowa, and later lead church planting efforts across the Iowa Ministry Network with tremendous impact. I wholeheartedly recommend Church Launch to every church planter."
—Dick Hardy, President, The Hardy Group
"When we started Life Church, Glenn was our coach and walked with us through every step of the journey. His guidance was invaluable—not just because of his legal expertise, but because he’s been in the trenches of church planting himself. Every church planter could benefit from his experience. I’m grateful for Glenn and highly recommend Church Launch."
—Rich Greene, Founding Pastor of Life Church
