Starting a church is certainly a leap of faith. For those who have pioneered a church plant before, you know this first hand. You're a veteran, an old pro. For those who are new to it, trust us: this a journey like no other...both in terms of hard work and reward!
Among other things, StartCHURCH assists new churches in getting their organizational structure in place. This is a critical first step and usually entails two primary tasks: Incorporation as a nonprofit entity in your state, then, Obtaining 501(c)(3) recognition by the Internal Revenue ServiceOur team works with you, preparing all of the necessary paperwork to get your church legally established. We even represent our work while it's under review by the state and the IRS!
Because this is an IRS examination and you need a specialist, not a document service. There is a lot more to this than paperwork. Setting up the structure of a church requires a precise understanding of the laws and compliance requirements involved, as well as the best practices necessary to successfully launch a new church. That's what our team brings to the table. You benefit from our years of experience, allowing you to focus on ministry and not on the IRS. And isn't ministry what's truly important?
Technically, no company can call itself a "Christian" company. However, the StartCHURCH ownership and staff is made up entirely of Christian professionals...the most knowledgable professionals in the business, we might add. We understand your perspective, your mission and your call. Several of our staff members are themselves ministers. Even our company's original founder was a pastor! As you take these first, crucial steps, it's important for you to know we understand you and what's important to you.
Probably not as much as you might think. In fact, we have priced our services to make it affordable for you to get precisely the expertise you need without you having to go into debt to do it. The total cost for most churches is only $1,200. That's it. And that's way less than what you would expect to pay an attorney or accountant who's likely never done this before. You can get started today for a deposit of only $250!
*Final cost typically totals $1,200, which includes all consultation, document preparation and representation. By law, California-based churches require additional services. IRS and/or state filing fees, if applicable, are not included.

Absolutely! If we are representing you and the IRS does not grant your church 501(c)(3) status, we will refund not only the fees you paid to us, but also the filing fees you paid to the IRS. How can we say that? Because we have a 100% success rate with the IRS. We have never lost a case we've represented. Not once in 14 years. Stick with us and you will be approved...and that's guaranteed!
