WHAT IS AN SSM:
A Self Supported Ministry” is an unincorporated article of incorporation organized church/ministry as described in Title 26 USC (IRS Code): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/508 . An SSM is a church/ministry a religious establishment consisting of two or more people. It can be an artificial entity or what might be called: a legal fiction, which anyone, including you, may create or establish. The church/ministry may or may not have buildings, ceremonies, a creed, robes and/or vestments, or whatever. However, the SMM allows you to assist your ministry, your community, and communities around the globe.
In Title 26 of the United States Code and Income Tax Regulations – June 26, 1977 Edition, published by Commerce Clearing House Section 1.511-2(ii) volume 1, page 33,471, 472, and in the Law of Tax Exempt Organizations by Bruce Hopkins, page 107, it states: The term “Church” [ministry] includes a religious order to a religious organization if such order or organization(a) is an integral part of a church, and (b) is engaged in carrying out the functions of a church, whether as a civil law corporation or otherwise. (Note, “or otherwise” you do NOT have to incorporate and thus become a creation of the Government.)
