Special All Day Seminar
Issues and Answers – How to be sure your ministry is complying with all applicable regulations and standards
September 13 Livermore
September 27 Sacramento
Speaker: Stephen Boersma, PhD.
In today’s environment it seems almost everything ministries say or do is regulated, legislated, and scrutinized. The privilege of receiving tax-deductible contributions to our ministries is under fire in Washington. Churches are being blocked from buying real estate that local governments want kept for business or commercial purposes. The application of the “Use Tax” to ministry activities means thousands of additional dollars each year must be set aside for non-ministry purposes. And the list goes on…. The cost of compliance can be expensive! But the facts show that the cost of non-compliance is often more expensive. This all day seminar will provide you with a comprehensive look at the current regulations and exemptions applicable to your ministry and will give you the opportunity to complete a self-assessment of how well you are doing and how you can protect your ministry from outside interference.
Cost: $150 preregistered; $175 at the door
