OUR HELP.
Getting your ministry started on a strong legal foundation may seem daunting, but we have made it our mission to make it as easy as possible.
Starting this journey off right isn't easy - it can be time-consuming and confusing. At StartCHURCH, we have discovered that there are 6 steps to legally establishing your ministry on a solid legal foundation.
Did you know that it can take up to 150 hours to complete all 6 steps? The great news is that you don't have to worry about that! Each StartRIGHT Service comes with FREE clerical services! We will fill out all of the time consuming forms, allowing you to focus on what matters, your ministry!
Do you know that there is more than one way for your ministry to be classified for tax-purposes? Many pastors and ministry leaders are unaware that how their organizations are classified for tax-purposes actually matters. This is mostly attributed to the fact that they are unaware of the difference between the two classifications.
4 Questions to determine the best tax classification for you:
Starting a ministry does not always mean you are starting a church. Starting a ministry is a perfectly valid way to see your vision come to pass! This type of organization has less strict requirements for duties and has a broad range of qualifying activities and still is tax exempt. Are you starting a traveling, speaking ministry? Are you starting an outreach oriented ministry? Don’t feel obligated to start a church when God has called you to start a ministry!
When reviewing church applications for tax-exempt status recognition, one of the most heavily weighted indicators used to determine if an organization is a church for tax purposes is if it will have a congregation and membership.
The IRS often classifies an organization as a church if it is holding regular, religious services at an established location. Holding services once a month or only holding meetings in one home, without plans to grow and expand beyond that home, generally indicate that you are operating a religious ministry that is not necessarily a church.
If you find that all of your activities as an organization will be geared towards community outreach only, you may be best suited for a religious ministry classification.
Great examples of ministries are: Traveling Speakers, Missionaries, Outreach Programs, After School Programs, and more. The possibilities are endless! Start your ministry today!
Great and much needed information: I have been truly blessed since I have been receiving e-mails from StartCHURCH and it has helped me and others that I have shared StartCHURCH with.

NO I should be thanking you; you've been so kind and patient and helpful. I appreciate StartCHURCH so much, you all are doing so much for me. I plan on telling many pastors about you all so they can get the service too. Thank you so much!
