Model for
Ministry (read the entire speech here)
Speech by Apostle and Pastor David Scott of
Circle City Christian Center at the American Leadership Conference.
"We have evolved into such clever
and enlightened people of faith that we’ve lost the Lord’s pure pattern
along the way......
.......I submit
to you today that we as spiritual leaders who are contemplating partnering
with the government through faith-based initiatives, charitable choices or
incorporating through a 501 (c)(3) desperately need to locate the
Lord’s road to Christian character and true ministry or we may end up on
a collision course with chaos."
Pastor David Scott
Circle City Christian Center
From a Pastor’s Desk (read

An essay from Pastor Tom Gliebe of FireGate
Ministries concerning the state of the church and testimony for Bethel Aram
Ministries.
"Pastors and Ministers
who have concerned questions regarding their state structured Church or Ministry
corporations owe it to yourselves to continue this process of investigating
Corporation Sole. Those who are preparing to start a church or ministry
looking for understanding and clarity of a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) verses
Corporation Sole, should contact Bethel Aram Ministries.
The call you make will affect
your future and all those who will be touched by the ministry only God can
give. Guard your calling; Guard your future; Guard your flock; Guard
your family. Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Gardner is among the very few who specialize
in setting up Canon Law Corporation Sole for churches and ministries
throughout the United States. Know too, that all Corporation Soles
are NOT created equal. There are actually two types of Corporation
Sole and you must know the difference: Civil
Law and Canon Law."
Pastor Tom Gliebe
FireGate Ministries
From a Training Conference Delegate
"Getting educated on the differences between
a 501(c)3 and a Corporation Sole is very important and I wanted to learn,
not from accountants or raw technical advisors, but expert ministers
whose hearts are for the Church, and not
for mammon. Our ministry suffered badly for several years from poor
advice and a perverted mindset coming from well-meaning but ill informed
people who are entrenched in the worldly paradigms of Church Industry today,
centered around avarice, entertainment and success. Meeting and learning
from Ric and Elizabeth was both technically informative, doctrinally very
sound, but above all, they were seasoned with love to see my wife and I,
and our ministry fully restored. I'd recommend Bethel Aram Ministries
to any minister who is re-evaluating their ministry legal structure, particulary
those wishing to avoid the lascivious traps and demonic devices that default
into the present 501(c)3 law (ie; pro-abortion, pro-gay, etc).
The conversion from 501(c)3
to Corporation Sole and introduction to Canon Law for us has been a journey
of rethinking, re-evaluation and recovery. I found Ric and Elizabeth to
be very knowledgable, offering tangible help and wisdom at every step."
Pastor Marty & Cheri Spratt
Wild River Ministries
Help from us and other Ministers
"Ric and I have assisted many diverse Churches
and Ministries form a new Corporation Sole to launch a new Church or Ministry.
However, in some cases we have also helped Ministries dissolve existing
501(c)3 entities and transfer longstanding Church and Ministry assets (such
as Church buildings, Schools, Libraries, Bank Accounts, etc) into the new
Corporation Sole. Many of the ministers we have helped are willing to counsel
and talk with others about their experience of establishing a Corporation
Sole, and about their experience of utlizing help from Bethel Aram Ministries.
We are here to serve the Body of Yahshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), so let
us know how we can help."
Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Gardner
