Step 1: Incorporation

STEP 1: INCORPORATION

With the StartRIGHT Service, our specialists will help you develop articles of incorporation* that will give you a strong legal shield, ensuring your limited legal liability, and will protect you and your members. You can create articles of incorporation* that reflect your vision and mission. Getting incorporated also gives you the ability to license and ordain ministers of the Gospel and serves as the legal birth of your organization.

Step 2: FEIN

STEP 2: FEDERAL EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (FEIN)

We obtain your Federal Employer Identification Number, and provide you with all of the information you need to open a church bank account, enabling you to take tax-deductible tithes and offerings. This number is used to identify your corporation and is needed for business and federal purposes. This number may also be known as a Tax ID Number.

Step 3: Bylaws

STEP 3: BYLAWS*

Other than the Scriptures, the bylaws* are the most important document in your church. The StartRIGHT Service empowers you to select the bylaws* that protect your vision, your ministry, and your members, adopting the governmental structure that reflects your ministry structure and allowing the pastor's vision to be kept clear.

Step 4: Policies

STEP 4: POLICIES

Many church leaders feel a desire to craft supporting policies but are overwhelmed at the process of developing the correct wording that will accurately develop such policies. With the StartRIGHT Service, we assist you in developing essential policies that help establish and protect your board of directors and those helping lead your ministry.

Step 5: Tax-Exempt Status

STEP 5: 501(c)(3) TAX-EXEMPT STATUS

We understand that planting a church can be a difficult journey, which is why we have made it very simple, secure, and affordable for every church to obtain tax-exempt status. We fill out the 501(c)(3) application with you, using the information that you give us, and we guarantee that you will be approved for your 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or your money back.

Bonus Step:
Become Legally Ordained

Another step with the StartRIGHT Service is the ability to license and ordain ministers of the gospel, starting with the senior pastor. With this service, you can be legally ordained through your own ministry, with the ability to do weddings, visit prisons, save on parking at hospitals, and take special tax deductions only available to legally ordained pastors. God has called you; let the StartRIGHT Service give you the legal ordination that comes with that call.
