Jeff,

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog posts. The only freed materials that I am aware of would be what you can find on internet sites. Being an armor bearer is primarily about serving. Specific responsibilities are defined by the pastor/ministry for whom you serve.

Note: I removed your personal information from your comment. It’s not a good idea to put that kind of info on a public forum.

Comment on How to Form A Non-Profit Corporation, Church or Ministry by Valerie Johnson

Dorian,

While churches that are non-profit are exempt from income tax, the employees and pastors are not. They have to pay taxes on their income. Churches pay taxes on everything else. One of the benefits of being designated non-profit is that donations to the organization are tax deductible for the person who made the donation.

While there are indeed pastors and ministers who live luxurious lifestyles there are many many more who are not. Those living such luxurious lifestyles are the minority, not the majority. Unfortunately, they are the ones who get the most attention. Furthermore, I’m not aware of the statistics, but our church undergoes an audit every August. That audit is conducted by a CPA firm that ensures that we are in compliance with non-profit regulations.

Please explain to me how the church “charges” people. I have never been affiliated with a church that charged me.
