Who We Are

Since our launch in 2010, our calling at ADF International has been to contend for the truth in law, policy, and the public square. As a legal advocacy organization, we focus on securing wins so that our fundamental freedoms can endure for generations to come.

Being a part of ADF International means using your unique abilities and skills to make a lasting impact, while being a part of a professional and collaborative environment. We value who you are and strive to ensure you continually grow and develop as a professional and in fellowship with the wider ministry.

If you are looking for a career where you can utilize and develop your God-given talents, while making a positive impact in the world, joining our team will equip you to help true freedom flourish around the globe.

Open Positions

Before applying to any role, please read and ensure you agree and profess our Statement of Faith and our Doctrinal Distinctives.
We encourage you to discern if you hold any beliefs in conflict with these before moving forward.

Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

ADF International Doctrinal Distinctives

Also, based on this confession, we are committed to honoring God by obeying the two Greatest Commandments, loving God and loving neighbor, and based on that commitment and derived from the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess the following as necessary for living the gospel:

  • We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that the Lordship of Christ requires us as disciples to seek to conform our actions, thoughts, and desires in obedience to Him.
  • We believe God creates each person with an immutable biological sex — male or female — that reflects the image and likeness of God.
  • We believe God designed marriage as a unique conjugal relationship joining one man and one woman in a single, exclusive, life-long union, and God intends sexual intimacy only to occur within that relationship.
  • We believe God endows all human life with inherent dignity, and it must be respected and protected from conception to natural death.
  • We believe that God has endowed all humans with the natural, and inalienable right of religious freedom to believe, pursue truth, and live within ordered liberty such that no civil government may justly infringe upon it.
  • We believe that God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, calls all of us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him and that, in exchange, He promises us abundant life.

How Is It Working at ADF International

“Working at ADF International is truly countercultural, which makes it an inspiring and dynamic place to be. Every day, we’re focused on defending religious freedom—both here in Europe and across the globe. It’s incredibly motivating to know that the work I do contributes to safeguarding the fundamental freedoms that matter most.”

Guillermo Morales Sancho

Legal Counsel

“Finding meaningful work like this is a rare privilege. It’s deeply fulfilling to support brave, kind, and inspiring international clients who simply wish to live peacefully according to their faith. It’s also a joy to do this work alongside a team that genuinely cares for one another and those they serve.”

Sofia Hörder

Communications Officer

“After many years of private practice, God was calling me to serve Him in a more impactful way. It was after participating in the Blackstone Fellowship program that I knew that ADF International was that way. Since then, I’ve grown so much professionally and spiritually and have met wonderful and faithful people from all over the world.”
