I understand this and yet taxing my little church would destroy us. How do we determine the difference at the IRS level between Joel Osteen and Fr. Art Hancock?
We have a budget of $60,000 a year all of which comes from the parishioners. We pay a part time (60%) priest, repairs when needed to our 100+ year old church, heat & electric and the like - and yet we still give away 20% of our budget annually in charity outreach. It isn’t much but our 50 or so households do more this way together than we could do separately.
