COMO DIRIGIR UM CULTO

How to lead a church service? Based on this question, I'm providing a 10-step guide on how to conduct a service. Some members are asking, "How do I start a church?" The first step in opening a church involves the will of God, because we must have a calling from God to lead His people and His church. We must keep in mind that every leader is an example to their people, so we must lead an upright life, full of good testimonies and grounded in the word of God. Everyone who has been called by God to lead the church is endowed with purpose and moved by a vision, so if you want to open a church, it is necessary to have a calling from God, a purpose, and a defined vision. If you fulfill these three requirements, it is because God is already preparing you to shepherd His people and care for His church. I remember praying in my house, in my room, when such a great peace invaded my being that I fell asleep. When I awoke, a name was vivid in my mind: COME WORSHIP... At that moment I didn't know the true meaning of that experience, but a great desire to win souls was born in my heart. So I started holding services in a brother's house so I wouldn't be without congregation, and... The work grew so much that we decided to found a church. Thus, the Assembly of God Church, Come Worship Ministry, was born. We sought information on how to legalize the new church, as we concluded that God would not approve of anything irregular. I began searching for information on how to legalize the church, and at that moment I felt an enormous difficulty, as there was no quality information available on the subject... Each website or forum I accessed provided different information; each one said something different, and I couldn't find useful information on how to legally open a church. I was very sad and frustrated by the number of websites and people mocking such an important issue for me. I sought guidance from a pastor to help me open a church, and he recommended an accountant, whom I immediately consulted. The accountant quoted R$1,600 to legally open the church. At that time, I was unemployed and didn't have that amount of money, so I didn't hire him. It took me months to legalize the church; if I had the information I have now, it would have taken only two days. Many people have questions about the procedure for opening a church, so I've listed the most frequently asked questions below. If your question isn't listed, please use the comments section to post it. Q: Can a person with a bad credit history open a church? A: Yes, they can. The only restriction is from the bank. When opening an account in the church's name, the bank will check the name of the person responsible for the church. If the person responsible for the church has outstanding debts, the bank will not grant credit, but the business account can be opened normally. Q: Can anyone start a church? A: Yes, anyone. It doesn't matter the creed or religion; following the right steps today, anyone can start a church. In my case, I was an Elder when I legalized the Assembly of God. Come Worship; if I were a co-worker, I would have put myself forward as president in the same way. Let's say that for now there's a loophole in the law. Q: How many members are needed to start a church? A: Actually, at least 6 board positions need to be filled. This doesn't mean you need 6 people, as you can accumulate functions or positions. Q: Is it possible to register a church if it's in a house? A: Yes, it's possible. For a church to become legally recognized, it doesn't need a fixed address, but rather a president who is legally responsible for it. So it can be opened in a house, in a rented hall, etc. Q: Can a church that is already operating be registered retroactively? A: No, it cannot. The church only legally exists from the moment we submit its documentation. Q: Do I need a degree in Theology to register a church? A: Actually, you don't need a theological degree to register a church; you can legally open a church even without ecclesiastical training. Q: Can I put anyone I want on the Church Board? A: Yes, you can. Above 18 years old, just be careful, as it's a position of trust; ideally, your spouse should be your Vice-President. Q: What are the positions on the Church Board? A: 1- President, 2- Vice-President, 3- First Treasurer, 4- Second Treasurer, 5- First Secretary, 6- Second Secretary
