Do you have a Calling to  Start a Church?

A clear calling to start a church is the most important ingredient in the planting of any new church. But, you may need some help.

Our experienced attorneys will provide all of the legal work necessary to help you establish a Texas Church. In addition, we will consult with you regarding applicable laws and regulations regarding the management of your new Church, Church fundraising activities, pastor and/or minister employment, compensation guidance and certain prohibited activities that could put your non-exempt status at risk.

We provide the following legal services as part of our flat fee package:

  • Drafting the Certificate of Formation to conform to 501(c)(3) requirements and state law;
  • Filing Articles of Incorporation;
  • Draft the Church Constitution and Bylaws to reflect the desired governance structure;
  • Draft organizational meeting minutes with required resolutions;
  • Draft a conflict of interest policy, a compensation policy, and a reimbursement policy
  • Finally, we prepare the application for 501(c)-tax exempt status.
