Regan VanSteenis

wise counsel for Christian ministries
Regan VanSteenis served as Chief Legal Counsel to Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen Ministries for 20 years and has always had a passion to serve and empower the body of Christ. She knew early on that her vocational call was to provide legal counsel and leadership to those who were living out a higher calling. As the daughter of preacher herself, she feels honored to serve the Kingdom in this unique way.

Over the course of her career, she has worked with and collaborated with the top attorneys and ministries in America in nearly every realm of the law, from business to entertainment, employment law, tax, contract negotiations, and high-profile litigation. This has allowed her to be a part of some of the most distinctive transactions for churches around the globe, including the purchase of an NBA arena that now serves as the 16,000-seat home of Lakewood Church; the first of its kind satellite radio channel, Joel Osteen Channel 128, on SiriusXM; and at least 10 New York Times best-selling books with many more to come. In her role at Lakewood, she also had the privilege of overseeing the Human Resources Department at both a hands-on and executive level, giving her unparalleled insights into hiring, leading and engaging a staff successfully in the church context.

Regan has now taken her vast legal and HR experience in the business and non-profit worlds and provides strategic and legal, business, and Human Resources advice to churches and ministries all over America. Believing the Jesus Christ, through the church, is the answer for the world, Regan has helped legally launch nearly 100 churches and ministries, providing a solid legal foundation for her clients, and she is on a help start 1,000 in a short period of time.

People ask her all the time why a church needs a lawyer, business advice, or even an HR team. That’s simple. Scripture teaches that plans fail for a lack of counsel, and there is safety and victory when counsel abounds (Prov 15:22; Prov 11:14). Regan firmly believes that if we are going to fulfill our callings at the highest level, we need excellent counsel so we can move forward confidently in all God has called us to.

Sandy Pineda

Of Counsel
Sandy Pineda has served as legal counsel to one of the largest Bilingual
churches in the U.S., and one of the largest ministries in the world, King Jesus
International Ministry.
 
Since she was young, Sandy has had a heart to serve her community and those
who were underprivileged. Sandy has worked for the federal government, non-
profits, and law firms, where she served clients in civil litigation, mediations, and
federal immigration matters.

When she had the opportunity to begin working with churches, she knew God
was exponentially increasing her, as she now was able to support those very
people who help their communities the most – pastors who were expanding the
Kingdom of God on the earth.
 
With the support of her leadership, Sandy is now using her experience to help
support pastors and ministries all over the world.
