This online booklet explains how to organize a church God’s way. Tragically, most pastors and churches have no desire to learn what they have not learned about the matter from the Bible, Bible Colleges, Seminaries, other pastors and churches, etc. So they organize churches man’s way through incorporation, 501c3, 508c1A, unincorporated association, etc. By doing so, they profane the holy and do great harm to individuals, families, churches, and the nation. They are spiritual prostitutes and could care less about what they have done.

This online booklet explains how a church in America can organize in a way which pleases God, God’s way – according to God’s method as given us in the New Testament, mainly in the epistles penned by the Apostle Paul. God’s way of church organization is simple. Man’s way is complex and alters the very nature and operation of a church. Almost all American churches choose to organize man’s way. 

According to God’s word most have forsaken God’s guidelines for church organization. To understand this, one must know (1) what God’s word reveals about individual, family, state, and church government and their relationships; and (2) the facts about various worldly organizational methods.

Before one can fully understand church organization God’s way, one must first know God’s way:

76 American Jurisprudence 2d, Trusts § 3

The local church sanctified and cleansed by the washing of water by the word——————–A ministry of Charity Baptist Tabernacle of Amarillo, Texas led by Pastor Ben Hickam. "Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:1-3). ————————————Jerald Finney, a Christian Lawyer and member of Charity Baptist Tabernacle, having received this ministry in the Lord, explains how a church in America can remain under the Lord Jesus Christ and Him only. "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:10-11; See also, Ephesians 4::1-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-25). "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it" (Colossians 4:17). "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1.22; See also, e.g. Colossians 1:18).
