National 'Church & Politics' Live Webinar !

 ' Holy Darkening world BATMAN ! '

Churches and Political Activities

Understanding how a church's tax-exempt status is affected—or not—when it supports or opposes candidates, distributes voter guides, advocates for certain issues, and more.

Being a child of the 70's, I liken the current spiraling morality of the world, the current general 'Chaos and Ridiculousness' and the ever-seeming Godlessness and carelessness of False Leaders to the absurdity of the old Batman series which for 30 minutes took our young minds to a land of ..... NO WAY ! , .... ' this stuff would NEVER happen ' ! or ' IMAGINE if the world was actually like that ? '.   ................ 

AND, HERE WE ARE !

'AS "HIS" CHURCH WILL WE STAND (Jude 1:3) and CONTEND' ?

WE 'HUMBLY' ask you to join us in UNIFICATION for this important WEBINAR.

Were 'WE' perhaps made for SUCH A TIME AS THIS ?

Hmmm !

WEDS. MAY 18th, 2020 - 1 1 :00 A.M.

FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH of KITTERY POINT - 542 HALEY ROAD

Churches and church leaders receive speech protections
under the First Amendment of the US Constitution—including political
speech. But much confusion arises when it comes to the federal
tax-exempt status that churches automatically receive under section 508 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Among the questions: What types of political activities and speech are allowed under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code?

The following articles explain the do’s and don’ts, as described in section 501(c)(3), as well as relevant IRS rulings and court decisions. They are designed to inform church leaders as they weigh how God is calling them to speak into elections and other political matters.
