Helping Hand Outreach is a 508(c)(1)(a) ministry whose primary mission is to help educate and transition Faith Based Organizations (FBO) from the reporting requirements and free speech restrictions of a 501(c)(3) FBO to a tax-exempt, free speech, and non-reporting 508(c)(1)(a) FBO.
Our staff has over 20 years experience providing resources and support to churches. Our support includes tax service, accounting, and FBO consulting for 508(c)(1)(a) and 501(c)(3) FBO’s. Our passion is helping the Church to once again become a spiritual influence on our community by freeing our voice, our freedom of speech, and separating the bond it has with government restrictions.
James 1:22 calls us to be “Doers of the word and not hearers only” and Matthew 28:19 calls us to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations”. When the Church is able to speak freely then it can truly be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. Help strengthen the Body of Christ by ensuring your ministry has a solid foundation to speak the truth in Christ.

Statement Of Faith
We Believe:
- In one eternal God, Revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- Man was created in the image of God and is now, by reason of voluntary transgressions, separated from God.
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God, is His revelation to man, and contains His plan for the redemption of fallen humanity.
- In the virgin birth and the deity of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, truly human and truly divine.
- Salvation has been provided for all people through the work of Christ at Calvary, resulting in eternal life for all who believe, turn from sin, and place their faith in Him.
- In the spiritual unity of all believers, each of whom is an integral part of the Church, the body of Christ.
- All believers are responsible to fulfill the Great Commission and make disciples of all people.
- In the Second Coming of Christ and the pre-eminence of His kingdom for eternity.
