What’s My Next Step?
Congratulations! You have successfully started your church or ministry. This is a wonderful season of growth you experience as you see the vision God put in your heart come to pass. These are wonderful days that you do not want to miss. However, oftentimes, this season can also be a slightly confusing one. Many pastors and ministry leaders can get so caught up working IN the ministry that they miss the need to work ON the ministry. Many would confess that they feel something is missing. Intuitively they know there are next steps that need to be taken to help them protect what God has given them to lead, but they are not sure what steps there are to take.

Engage Church Focused Bookkeeping
Many ministers have voiced that leading the financial side of their ministries drains them of passion and energy. They feel called to preach and make disciples but feel bound to a desk working on their finances! At StartCHURCH, we will take the tedious task away, providing you with the reports needed to be a good financial steward for your church!

Grow Your Ministry Impact
There are many ways to grow your ministry and impact your community outside of using only your church corporation. The two most common ways are: starting a church-owned business to increase your ministry’s resources and funding or starting a Community Development Corporation. By starting a CDC, you can apply for funding that wouldn't normally be available to a church.
Increase Your Church’s Budget
Did you know that more than 25 states allow churches and ministries to apply for sales and use tax exemption? This means when you make a purchase for your church, you won’t have to pay sales tax. Think of the savings!
