DON’T LET THE ENEMY STEAL YOUR CALLING
Pastor Jeff Durbin has spent decades boldly proclaiming biblical truth, defending the Christian faith, and leading ministries that impact people far beyond the walls of a local church. With over 66K followers on Facebook and touring with TPUSA, he’s worth checking out.
Yet after 16 years of operating under a 501(c)(3) structure, he discovered something surprising. In fact, many pastors, ministry leaders, Christian schools, discipleship programs, outreach organizations, and faith-based nonprofits never hear about it.
In this powerful testimony, Pastor Jeff shares why he made the decision to transition his church and ministries to a 508(c)(1)(A) and why he believes every faith leader should understand the difference.
Most churches simply follow the path of filing as a 501(c)(3). However, many professionals are unfamiliar with the unique protections, freedoms, and legal distinctions available under Section 508(c)(1)(A). The question isn’t whether your ministry is growing. The question is whether you’ve taken the necessary steps to safeguard your mission. After all, cultural pressure, political shifts, legal challenges, and increased scrutiny can arise quickly.
