Church Formation Basics

This download corresponds with the Church Law & Tax webinar: Church Formation Basics. Download this handout to follow along and take notes while you watch.

Webinar Description:

How a church is legally formed directly affects how it operates. From the articles of incorporation to bylaws to tax status, church leaders must understand how their church was formed and how that formation shapes the decisions they make, and the ways they make those decisions.

In this recording, attorney Lisa A. Runquist, a longtime advisor for Church Law & Tax, delves deeper into the formation processes for churches and explains how the pieces that are essential to formation become instrumental to how those churches function, both internally and externally for years to come.
