DICK HARDY
President, The Hardy Group
"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."
RICH GREENE
Founding Pastor of Life Church
"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."
BENJAMIN GLASS
Corporate and Incorporate Attorney
"Glenn is one of those few lawyers who understand both the legal and practical needs of new and growing churches. This is a specialized area of the law, and, being a former pastor, he knows exactly what churches are going through (and will go through a plan for the future). If you are a pastor of a new or growing church, I'd highly recommend that you get Glenn on your Rolodex! Ask him about his many affordable programs for churches like yours.. He'll talk to you straight and even let you know which parts of your journey might not actually need an attorney!"
BRANDON BILBO
Pastor at Cross Church Houma
“Reynolds Law Group has been instrumental in helping protect our church. Every organization needs a team of professionals who are looking after their well being. Not having to worry about your structure and being able to trust someone who truly has your back has allowed us to focus on the mission of our organization more keenly. I recommend Glenn and Reynolds Law Group all the time. They are amazing.”
