For evangelistic ministries, either Affiliation or Association is offered. |
||
|
1. Affiliation is for the evangelistic ministry that wishes to come under the FCF Int'l 501(c) 3. There is more accountability as an Affiliate and better protection in the eyes of the government and church congregation. |
||
|
||
|
All affiliates must incorporate under the FCF Int'l. Group Exemption. The Articles and By Laws have been copyrighted for FCF and will be provided upon initial approval of the application. |
||
|
2. Association is for the evangelistic ministry that has its non-profit incorporation [501(c) 3], but desires to be in covenant relationship with our organization. It can be described best as a spiritual covering. |
||
|
|
||
|
All associates must submit copies of incorporation and Federal Group Exemption number with completed application. |
||
|
In either case, FCF does not operate like denominations that own the evangelistic minister's property, tell the traveling minister where to go and that controls the traveling minister's finances. |
||
|
The president of an FCF affiliate or associate evangelistic ministry must be credentialed with FCF Int'l. |
||
|
All FCF evangelistic ministries must operate exclusively for charitable, religious and educational purposes and maintain the tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and must operate within the meaning of Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Code. |
||
|
FCF is a family within the family of God, called to be a legal and spiritual covering to those who are in relationship with us. Relationship in Christ is a covenant relationship whereby we are blessed to be a blessing. We believe those in relationship with us are blessed and walking in the overflow of God's abundance. It is part of God's plan that those in the family (Affiliate/Associate churches and ministries) apply the principle of the tithe by sending their undesignated tithe to FCF in Tulsa. |
