• I give you one-on-one, highly personalized consulting, focusing on all the most important legal, business and uniquely church-related aspects of starting a Christian church in America.

• Some tasks require a very rare set of skills. For example, we will begin to address the structure of legal and religious authority in the church right away. This is where my experience as in-house counsel of an international fellowship of churches is of particular value to you. Try finding someone else who can tap into this rare kind of experience and expertise and use it to your benefit.

• Your church start-up will be done right. I guarantee approval of your 501c3 tax exempt status when you work and cooperate with me.

• I will contact you as soon as you request my assistance. You answer just a few simple questions, provide me any necessary information and other items I request, and I take it from there. Your initial documents will be available in 5 days!

The articles of incorporation you'll receive are not templates or boilerplate forms. They're drafted to meet your specific needs as a Christian ministry and to comply with state law. And they include everything required for IRS 501c3 tax exempt status.

This is very important to understand: The nonprofit corporation law of your state (or the District of Columbia) dictates how the articles are drafted. This is essential because many of the problems and disputes in churches start with badly written articles of incorporation. One of the most important things is to glean from your state law how the biblical and religious authority of a church can be EMPHASIZED while the reach of the secular corporation can be properly limited.

The mistake many so-called "nonprofit experts" make in working with churches, is failing to understand that the corporation should be a tool of the church, rather than taking over the church. They wouldn't know how to help you with that because they don't really know what they're doing.

You will be able to quickly and easily secure a Federal Employer Identification Number. This will help you move forward with opening a checking account, as well as requesting and depositing donations and contributions as soon as possible.

You will receive unique Bylaws to serve your specific corporate needs and comply with changes in your state law. Bylaws are a complicated document, but very important because they govern how the church functions as a corporate entity. You should always demand unique bylaws that were prepared specifically for your church.

The Church Constitution is extremely important for many reasons. It establishes the structure of legal and religious authority in the church. If you fail to address this issue from the beginning, a secular court may do it for you later, but I guarantee it won't be something you'll like or agree with.

The constitution also helps determine how certain issues will be resolved, like internal disputes, member and clergy discipline, issues of religious doctrine, church spokespersons, and the like. Just as important is how the constitution can help insulate the church from the intervention of secular courts.

The constitution is both a legal and ecclesiastical document. While it speaks to ecclesiastical issues, it also serves as a "contract," so to speak, between the church and its members.

The Church Constitution is the most important document in starting a church. Of course, I've written church constitutions many times before. This is certainly not a document that just anyone can help you with.

I will fully and accurately complete, on your behalf, Form 1023, the IRS application for recognition of tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

It's always best to file Form 1023 as soon as possible after starting the church, long before things like budgets and activities get too complicated. So, we'll start working on it right away.

I have a 100% Approval Rate for all the IRS tax exemption applications I have ever filed, including Group Exemption applications, so I guarantee your approval.

Once the form is filed, I will continue to represent you with the IRS by responding to any follow-up questions or requests for additional information they may have.

I will develop a ministry ordination program and procedures for your church. While no particular form of ordination is required, I make sure it complies with federal tax guidelines, as they apply to ministers.

I even provide a script that you may tweak any way you want. This ordination program will serve as your guide through the entire process of ordaining your ministry personnel. It's important to observe some level of formality so there is never a question about the authority and anointing of your ministers.

You will receive the necessary documents to properly designate parsonage or housing allowances for paid ministers. This includes a housing expense form and the necessary resolutions for board adoption.

You will receive an Agenda and all the most important Minutes and Resolutions for the first meeting of your church board. You'll breathe easier knowing that the hard work required to prepare for the very first board meeting, has already been done.

These are not just any old minutes. They're well-considered and carefully-crafted agenda items and board resolutions based on years of serving as in-house counsel and corporate/board secretary while advising and training church boards.

Of course, all the necessary accompanying documents are also prepared, including the Meeting Summary.

There may be forms you'll need to secure available state tax exemptions. If so, this too is handled.

For example, most states provide churches an exemption from income and franchise taxes, sales and use taxes, and personal and real property taxes.

If you are eligible for any state exemptions, you may be able to save thousands each year, depending on your activities and the value of your property.

You will also receive a primer to help train your church board on some of the most essential duties they have. Among other things, they'll learn some important fiduciary duties, how to balance the dual-personality of the church and corporation, and how to manage risk.

They'll learn how to work closely and effectively with ministry leaders. And, so they don't have to guess, the training includes understanding the issues that should normally go to the board and those that don't. This primer can teach a board oversight skills and protect it from micro-managing.

You will receive a primer to train your board secretary. This is not something you'll find anywhere else. It's based on my unique experience as a corporate and board secretary for many years.

It's a tightly focused, clearly written, point-by-point discussion on training a church board secretary about his/her important role, duties, essential skill set, the authority a board secretary should enjoy for optimum effectiveness, and how to help the board be the best it can be.

I prepare a general guide to help you understand issues of federal tax law and the special tax benefits that are made available to bona fide ministers. This includes a review of social security, tax returns, understanding a parsonage or housing allowance, the mortgage double-deduction, and other important tax law issues for ministers.

Every church in America, regardless of its size or structure, faces important and often perplexing questions from the start. A church needs specific guidance to help it answer those questions and to make sure that its ministry is led in a manner that pleases the Lord and is beyond reproach.

Here are just a FEW examples of the many questions churches wrestle with:

• How to legitimately use ministry funds;
   

• What kind of fundraising may be done and how;
   

• How to hire and/or terminate non-ministry personnel;
   

• When and how to pay ministry personnel;
   

• How to recruit, train and treat volunteers;
   

• When and how to reimburse volunteer expenses;
   

• What a "love offering" is and how it may be used;
   

• When it is appropriate to give gifts and honoraria;
   

• How to structure and implement a benevolence program;
   

• What kinds of safeguards are appropriate for a children's ministry; and
   

• How to properly use copyrighted materials;

To put it simply, every church must know what the "Minimum Standards" are when handling its most important financial, business and legal matters.

In other words, a church must be able to answer the question:

"What is the minimum that we are EXPECTED TO KNOW and REQUIRED TO DO in handling the business of the church?"

Church-specific Policies and Procedures ARE those "minimum standards." To put it another way, Policies and Procedures teach you the "Best Practices" for handling many important business tasks in the church.

Churches that lack an adequate understanding of the Minimum Standards, or Best Practices, can quickly find themselves in trouble. They struggle just to know if their ministry is in compliance with the laws and regulations that impact their financial, business and legal activities.

With church-specific Policies and Procedures, you will know how to handle many of the church's most important tasks.

You will receive a complete set of Policies and Procedures that have been written specifically for an independent, non-denominational church in a subscription format.

Having to review and understand a complete set of 60 policies and procedures while starting a new church can be overwhelming. For that reason, you receive the policies and procedures over a period of 12-months, at the rate of 5 new policies and procedures each month. This will help you to easily manage the review, adoption and implementation of each policy and procedure. By the end of those 12 months, you will be an expert at knowing how to use your policies and procedures.

In addition, you get them in the order that you need them. For example, since some of your more pressing questions will involve the proper handling of ministry finances, the first policies and procedures you receive will address church finances.

This offer is available only for the next ten (10) clients. Make sure you claim your own set.
