I know I kinda answered this in your other question, but I am curious, is the pastor about to be evicted? If so, and he has already asked them to sign a promissory note then your friends and all other members, need to make sure that they get copies of the quarterly financial reports to make sure that tithes and offerings are going where they should. I am truly concerned about your friends are going through, as I am sure mistrust has already set in. I hope and pray that the treasurer of the church is not the pastor or related to him. If they are not having monthly (or at least quarterly)business meetings then they need to start, and usually a financial report is discussed at those times. If anyone gets offended because people are wanting to view financial statements this is a red flag. Let me know if there is anything specific needs that I can pray for that I am not already. God Bless, Susu

Church that is a 501c3 making their members sign a promissory note to pay back a loan
I have some friends who are attending this church which is a 501c3. They have ran into financial problems in paying their rent so that they would not be evicted from their homes. The pastor of this church told them that the only way they can get any money is that they would have to sign a promissory note stating that they would pay the money back to the church.
If the church is nonprofit, can the pastor of this church do this to his membes who paying tithes and offerings there?

Thank you Susu for being very concern. These members have now left the church because they were so hurt by this situation. If they were still there, I doubt they could get any financial statement s and the Pastor was not about to be evicted. Yes, you are right there is now alot of mistrust and now these members are now going from church to church because of this situation. Please pray that these members will be heal. If I am not mistaken, the pastor and his wife do have a part in the treasure. Thank you so much Susu for being very concern. I believe that you are a woman who believes in the power of prayer.
Yes, and tell your friends to remember that God already knew this was going to happen, and to reflect upon this more as a "blessed seperation" for any of those who left. God has a divine purpose for each of us in His work. Remember the apostles eventually parted ways to do His work, for if they had stayed together the Good News would not have spread far. I will continue to lift them up and know that God will answer that prayer and they will find the place where God wants them to be. He will do great things with them as long as they stay in His will, I know this. God bless you as well for being there for your friends. Susu

I can't locate our paper proving 501c3 status. Can I get a copy?
