CEA
Christian Employers Alliance

Built to Defend the Businesses That Refused to Bow.

Who We Are

Christian Employers Alliance exists because the federal government mandated that Christian business owners fund what their faith forbids. CEA said no. And won.

We are a membership organization built around a single, hard-won truth: Christian employers have the right to operate by biblical conviction. Not as a courtesy. Not as a temporary carve-out. As a matter of settled federal law. CEA holds two permanent federal court injunctions that protect every member from enforcement of the contraceptive mandate and the gender-transition mandate.

These are not policy opinions. They are standing court orders. The moment your membership is active, both injunctions cover your business. There is no waiting period. There is no individual lawsuit you have to file. The protection is already there.

Beyond the courtroom, CEA equips members with values-aligned health plans, faith-driven HR guidance, and a community of leaders who share your convictions. Protection is the floor. Helping you lead boldly is the mission.
