Does the Internal Revenue Service recognize the tax-exempt status of Saint Matthews Churches?
The Church was granted tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service in 1977, which was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in 2000. Not only did the Court determine that the Church was tax exempt under 26 U.S. C. Sect. 501(c)(3) (i.e., that no part of the Church’s net earnings inured to the private benefit of any person), but also that its activities were exclusively religious.
