    National Unlicensed Church Conference

    May/June 2001

    by Norman Edwards

     I attended the National Unlicensed Church Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, April 15 to 18. It was sponsored by the Mercy Seat Christian Church, at the Zoofari Conference Center. The main speaker was Peter Kershaw of Heal Our Land Ministries (208 E College Suite 304, Branson, Missouri 65616; 417-337-7533, www.hushmoney.org).

    Again, no, according to Owens and to IRS regulations readily accessible to the public.

    But even if a church chooses not to be recognized as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, Owens said, provisions of the federal tax laws prohibiting “intervention in a political campaign” still apply to all churches. If the IRS finds that a church has violated this prohibition, the activities that constituted the violation are subject to an excise tax, according to the IRS.

    “A church needs no ruling from the IRS to be exempt
