Church Charters
A Charter is to an organization as what an Ordination is to a person. It gives an organization recognition within the TCOLW organization as an Independent Ministry/Church. It does not make that organization tax-exempt. To become a tax-exempt organization, you must file the proper paperwork with the IRS. You can find information regarding tax-exempt status via the link to the IRS on our Legality Page.

Why we will only Charter women into a Ministry not into a Church!

I feel this needs further explanation

We believe the God Ordained role of women in Church is not to lead men, but to other women and Children. We will therefore issue Ministry Charters to women to go and teach other women and Children in their ministry. 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35, 1 Tim. 5:2, Titus 2:4. [Gen. 3:16. tells us this, "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over you." To rule over does not mean to oppress in any way. It means to be under the mans leadership in a Church setting as well as at home].

The woman's role is no less important than of the mans in the Church as well as at home, but each role is different and God ordained it this way from the very beginning. In Biblical times the wife took care of complete household responsibilities and the raising and teaching of the children, and the teaching of her daughters and daughter-in-laws and other women in her community. She did this of course in counsel with her husband. The man of God knows that he is to love his wife as the Lord loves the Church. That means he must give her his utmost respect and listen to the suggestions and advice his wife might give. This is true as well in the church. Men Church leaders are to do the same with women "being silent in church" means God does not want woman to teach men in a church setting. They can however hold women's Bible studies, lead church music, sing in special music, teach children Sunday school and many other opportunities.

My wife helps me teach the Bible in our nursing home ministry praise and worship services because the majority of people there are women. She leads worship songs and reads and explains Bible scripture between the songs. TCOLW has independent Ministers that go into nursing homes, Women's prisons, and other settings that are primary women gatherings to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I hope that I have made our belief clear that role of men and women are equal to God. One is not more important than another. We charter this way because it is the way God commands it to be.

TCOLW will only issue charters to those that are worthy of this recognition!

  • Those who voluntarily hold themselves accountable for such recognition.

  • Those who share in common callings.

  • Those who share our beliefs.

  • Those who share missions

  • Those who share unity in essential doctrines.

  • Those who uphold ethical Christian standards of the Bible and of TCOLW's beliefs.
