You will first speak with your representative that introduced you to the church. He/she can answer many questions you may have.
Secondly, you will speak briefly with our founder. He will verify that you at some point in your past (or you can do it now!) did the following:
- Admit that you are a sinner.
- Repent and be willing to turn from your sins.
- Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross.
- Receive, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
Here is a prayer many have prayed: “Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that you died for my sins. I will turn from my sins. I invite you into my heart and life. I trust and will follow you as Lord and Savior over my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
After this verbalization, you are now a member of Church2100! You’ll be expected to read the weekly sermons and contribute offerings to the church of $77 a month. You’ll be expected to be concerned for and share in the needs of others. You will be expected to walk in fellowship with other believers and the Church of Christ at large.
Another great benefit of being a member of Church2100 is you now qualify to join a “Christian Healthcare” health insurance-style plan. Church2100 will not specifically recommend one organization over another but can tell you that plans begin at under $100 for an individual to under $400 for a family of six. Our founder personally had a medical bill of $35,000 for his son’s emergency appendectomy. Between discounts and their family’s Christian Healthcare plan, our founder owed NOTHING out of pocket!! Imagine that – no copays, no deductibles, no in-network only. EVERYTHING was paid for!! Two popular Christian Healthcare organizations are Christian Healthcare Ministries of Barberton, Ohio and Medi-share of Melbourne, Florida.
How to Become Social Security Exempt
First of all, you must become a member of Church2100. You can be a member of Church2100 and not be Social Security exempt, but you cannot be Social Security exempt without being a member! Church2100 can offer Social Security exemption to its members who hold a genuine religious objection to the same. We are able to do so because the Amish Mennonites have continuously existed since at least 1950 (actually 1536 AD) and have an established track record of taking care of their own.
Exempting out of Social Security and Medicaid taxes (FICA) should not be perceived as a way to “save money.” Paying into Social Security provides a guaranteed income stream after retirement for those who have built up enough credits. Those who opt out of Social Security need to be ever more disciplined and diligent in saving for retirement and planning prudently. However, should your religious convictions change, you’ll be able to begin participating in the system again. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF FICA TAXES IS TOTALLY REVERSABLE. YOU WILL NOT BE MAKING A COMMITMENT THAT CAN NEVER BE UNDONE. SOCIAL SECURITY WILL ACCEPT YOUR RENEWED CONTRIBUTIONS AGAIN AT ANY TIME. YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY EARNINGS ACCOUNT WILL RESUME RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF, NO HARM, NO FOUL. YOU CAN REMOVE YOUR EXEMPTION YOURSELF BY WRITING THE IRS OR CHURCH2100 CAN ALSO REVOKE YOUR EXEMPTION BY REPORTING TO THE IRS THAT YOU NO LONGER FOLLOW THE ESTABLISHED TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH. Please speak with your church representative for more details.
The form to officially exempt oneself from Social Security is IRS Form 4029. It must be signed by both the church member individually and the Church2100 founder. The Social Security Administration usually contacts the founder directly before granting exemption approval.
PLEASE CAREFULLY CONSULT WITH YOUR CHURCH2100 representative BEFORE COMPLETING FORM 4029. Filling out the form improperly, signing someone else’s signature that is not your own or attempting to self-authorize without the signature and approval of Church2100 Amish Mennonite Fellowship will result in a permanent exemption ban. The founder of Church2100 has been exempting individuals since 1993 and can confidently say that 99.9% of all exemption forms are verified for accurate and active church membership status.
