Re: County Trying To Stop Home Bible Studies

Good thoughts.

I have had several people coming to me lately asking me to act as incorporator for their 501 c 3.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this status but the first thing I make them understand is you do NOT have to have 501 c 3 status to be a church. You can incorporate as a non-profit with your state or even choose to forgo incorporation of any kind and still maintain status as a church.

The issus of regular meetings as a Bible study or a church would actually have great bearing for purposes of state being able to regulate vis a vis zoning etc.

This would be regardless of whether any money was collected period, and irrespective of its method of collection.
