The Global Methodist denomination doesn’t have a Group Ruling with the IRS that would officially declare all Global Methodist churches to be 501(c)(3). Filing for 501(c)(3) status can be a long and painful process. What should a church do? Try this.

I learned something new about how a church should be completing their Form W-9. I’ve been doing wrong for years, but now I know the correct way.
The IRS may be the most feared institution on earth, but they are actually pretty lenient towards churches. You would probably be surprised at how easy it is for a church to be considered a 501(c)(3) for tax purposes.
In 2022, the big question for churches leaving the UMC was “Where are we going to…independent or GMC?” In 2023, more churches are asking “Why should we go?” I try to address this question.
This is such a stressful season for the UMC. It’s putting everyone to the test. I believe there are two primary tests United Methodists are facing. I go over those in the post.
By the way, I apologize to those that are wanting more church financial videos. I’m going to be splitting my posts between setting up QuickBooks and the UMC split for time being.
I’ve had a lot discussions with United Methodist churches that were struggling with the decision on whether or not to leave the denomination. Through those discussions, I was able to hear common narratives from churches that should remain UMC or leave to the GMC. That’s what you will find in this post.
