Can a non-profit church legally have a millionaire business seminar at the church and charge money for it?
Q. I know a pastor who is hosting a millionaire business seminar at his church and charging money for it. He has a for-profit business where he speaks on different subjects and charges money for the seminars but most of them are at the church. Isn't that illegal? The pastor is charging $89.00 per person for this event.

A. In the US, nonprofits are allowed to have fundraisers. Also, they have limited rights to carry on businesses related to their tax exempt function. Churches run thrift stores and bookstores for example. A nonprofit that runs a regular business that is not related to its tax exempt activities will be taxed on that income. So, if the church decides to go into the business of running these seminars all the time, it will end up paying tax on that. And if the income from the seminars is greater than the donations and other money the church receives from activities directly related to being a church, the church can lose its tax exempt status completely.

Q. How do they do it? How do they make people feel so much guilt upon skipping church? What's the technique they employ to make people associate their innate guilt with church skipping? And to make people return to church with money.

A. Baptists Churches are usually member of one of the Baptist Societies, like the Southern Baptists. Baptist churches, though, are normally operated independently. that is, the Baptist Society they are a member of does NOT dictate how or what they teach. Christian Churches may be completely independent, or they might be a member of a "coalition", a loose collection of similar non-denominational churches. Again, each church is independent, and are not told what to teach. Doctrine wise, they are pretty close to the same. I left a large Christian Church for a smaller Southern Baptist church several years ago, and have had no problems. They both taught the same things, but the Southern Baptist church has more national and international… [cont.]
