Can a church, synagogue, or other religious body sponsor SSL activities?
Yes. The service activity must have a secular purpose and be based on a recognized need in the community. The service must reach beyond the participants in the religious event to members in the greater community. SSL activities cannot include preparation or participation in the performance of religious services. Religious institutions and their activities are often on the pre-approved but not recruiting list.
