Step 1 - Incorporating Your Church

We have books for each of the 50 states

In today's society things change so rapidly that most churches are being left in the dust. And no number of techniques will help you unless you orchestrate them through the proper channels. It is very important for churches today to incorporate as it creates an entity that can acquire property and hold assets in its name. If you want to be believable then create an entity that is believable. The Apostle Paul said it well in 1 Cor. 9:22: "I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." You can only be as believable as the entity you create is believable. Contrary to the beliefs of some, when you incorporate your church, you are not subjecting God's kingdom to the laws of man. You are simply creating an entity that can act in the name of the church. Every state in America has its own set of legislation governing the way corporations are formed. You don't need to go and spend hundreds of dollars letting someone else do it for you when you can do it yourself for pennies on the dollar.
