Service Description

Done-With-You drafting of your complete private ministry paperwork Launch and operate a bona fide, unincorporated 508(c)(1)(A) ministry with confidence. This consult is a practical, document-first engagement where we help you plan, draft, and organize the core records your ministry needs—so you can function credibly in the private domain with clear governance, minutes, roles, banking resolutions, donation procedures, and day-to-day administration. Primary CTA: Book Your Ministry Consult Secondary CTA: See What We Draft Why this service: Documents that move you forward: Not generic PDFs. We help you tailor documents to your mission, structure, and operations so your records make sense together. Cohesive governance: Bylaws, minutes, resolutions, ledgers, and policies that align—so administration is consistent from the start. Education + execution: We teach you how to use every document we deliver, so you aren’t dependent on anyone to keep the ministry running. What you’ll be able to do: Establish private ecclesiastical governance with clear authority, roles, and procedures. Maintain books and records that support facts-and-circumstances recognition (meetings, minutes, ledgers, resolutions). Open and manage ministry banking with a proper paper trail (SS-4/EIN workflow, banking resolution, signatory policy). Receive donations and issue receipts using standardized templates and donor-records procedures. Title and steward assets to the ministry’s mission with resolutions, schedules, and internal logs (education on titling strategy and documentation).
