Important Tax Information
A provision in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act taxes parking benefits that you may be providing to your employees. It will cause nonprofit organizations (including churches) to file federal income tax returns and pay unrelated business income tax on the cost of parking provided to employees.
In addition to filing federal income tax returns, many nonprofit employers affected by the new law will also be required to file state income tax returns and possibly pay a state income tax as a result of the new federal income tax.

Great Commission Day: It's Not Too Late!
Over the past several months, as the resources for Great Commission Day 2018 have been produced, presented, and promoted, you have likely read the following state-ment:
Every soul deserves the opportunity to hear the gospel, and every Alliance person deserves the opportunity to help create gospel access for those who have not yet heard.
This reality defines our primary purpose as a Christ-centered, Acts 1:8 family. And it is the reason Great Commission Day was created. The impact we can have together far exceeds the impact we can have individually. Thousands of lost and wandering souls have found hope and rest in Jesus as a result of this annual Alliance family event.
Have your pastors given their congregations the opportunity to help create gospel access for those who have not yet heard through
Great Commission Day 2018? If not, please re-mind them that it's not too late.
