501(c)3 Approved

God at work: Our 501(c)3 Approval

What felt like a long road turned into a clear reminder that God moves in His own perfect timing. We expected our 501(c)(3) process to take months—possibly close to a year—and it started with a setback. After realizing we missed a small detail on our Articles of Incorporation, Drew Dolinger drove all the way to Tallahassee to fix it in person, knowing that mailing it could delay us another three months.

We finally submitted our application on August 8th, and the IRS estimated a wait time of 191 days. Knowing how backed up they were, we assumed it would be a long season of waiting. Still, we pressed forward, operating under our church’s exempt status, trusting God to work out the details.

Then, this past Wednesday, we received our official determination letter—our 501(c)3 status is fully approved! It came much sooner than expected, far ahead of the timeline.

In the middle of the challenges and unknowns, God showed His faithfulness. What could’ve taken months was accomplished by His hand in perfect timing. This is truly a Kingdom win!
