Where the protection comes from
The protection is not a promise. Not a policy statement. Not an opinion about what the law should be.
It is a set of permanent federal court injunctions, already secured, already upheld.
CEA v. Azar
A federal court ordered permanent protection against mandates that would force Christian employers to fund coverage for procedures that violate their faith. The order stands today.
Read the caseCEA v. EEOC/HHS
A federal court secured a second permanent injunction, shielding member employers from mandates tied to gender-identity procedures and related requirements that conflict with biblical conviction.
Read the caseThese are court-backed orders. Signed by federal judges. Protecting every CEA member, present and future.
You do not have to win these cases. They are already won. You simply have to be a member when the protection applies.
How your membership activates the protection
Court orders shield the parties covered by them. Membership is what places your business inside that covered group. Here is how it works, step by step.
You join CEA.
Your membership establishes your standing as a covered employer under the association's court-backed protections.
Your plan documents carry the right language.
We provide the specific plan-document language that connects your health plan to the injunction coverage. This is the paperwork that makes the protection real inside your own plan, not just on a court docket.
Your insurer is notified correctly.
We guide the communications to your insurer or plan administrator so your coverage reflects your protected status. No guesswork. No missing steps.
You are covered.
Once the language is in place and your insurer is informed, the protection applies to your business. You operate according to conviction, backed by federal court orders.
That is the whole point. You should not need a Supreme Court victory of your own to run a faithful business. You need to be inside the protection that already exists.
What your protection shields you from
Membership protection covers the pressures Christian employers face most.
Healthcare Mandates
Federal requirements that would force your plan to fund drugs, procedures, and services that conflict with your beliefs.
Religious Liberty Violations
Government pressure that would penalize you for operating your business according to biblical conviction.
DEI & ESG Mandates
Requirements that would push policies and practices at odds with your values into your workplace.
Each of these arrives as a present requirement, not a distant possibility. The injunctions were built to meet them.
Without CEA. With CEA.
The gap between the two paths is the whole story.
Facing a mandate alone
Facing a mandate as a member

You are covered by existing court orders.
You spend years in litigation.
You are protected from day one.
You pay legal fees past $1 million.
You pay $0 in additional legal fees for injunction coverage.
You risk everything you built.

Coverage starts day one
There is no waiting period on the injunction protection. The moment your membership is active and your plan documents carry the right language, you are covered.
And the injunction coverage costs $0 in additional legal fees. The protection was won. Your membership connects you to it. You do not pay again for a fight that is already decided.

Built for employers who lead by conviction
CEA exists to help Christian business owners operate boldly according to their faith, free from the fear that a single mandate could cost them everything.
You lead with stewardship. You care for the spiritual well-being of your people. You want your company to reflect what you believe. Protection lets you keep doing all of it, without standing exposed to the next mandate alone.
That is the freedom membership provides. Not the freedom to win a lawsuit. The freedom to never have to fight one by yourself.
Operate according to biblical conviction, without fear of mandate.
Values-based health plan language, already written and tested in court.
Community of Christian employers who stand together.
Ongoing advocacy so you never face the next fight alone.
The mandate does not send a warning.
The protection has to be in place before you need it.
