I have been ministry for about 11 years and we are burnt out in "traditional" church. We just feel that it is a waste of tithe and offering resources to simply sustain buildings and salaries. ( my included)
We just feel that this is something that would be good for us. Needing to know if most simple churches are tax except or not? We were thinking of not being a non profit but at the end of the year just making surer that all of the money in the account has been distributed to people in need or to a worthy charity. That way there would be no profit to claim at the end of the year.What do you think?

simple church that is not "transitional" (transitional: borrowing some institutional or parachurch forms & methods) takes up a collection when a specific need (or for a simple church in another place facing a specific need) arises. Members generally hold in reserve what they would give until such place & time that the Spirit directs them to give it. (There is no obligation to give at the place which they frequently are gathered as ekklesia.)
No 501(c) needed. Giving is most often direct or pass-through. Also, here's a link to the Federal ruling establishing no 501 filing requirement for churches: Federal_Tax_Ruling_407_92_1.pdf
