Thy Kingdom Come

A working blueprint for building a non-denominational ministry, a separate community-service nonprofit and a future restorative-community campus from the ground up while preserving legal, financial and operational separation.

Open Public Church Site Execution Plan

CHURCHThy Kingdom Come Community Church

SERVICE NONPROFITKingdom Community Restoration Foundation

FUTURE PROGRAMThe Keeper’s House Chicago

CAMPUS MODELRural / off-grid service community pilot

Current status: planning and formation. Public materials must not imply active 501(c)(3) recognition, grants, licensed housing, public funding, treatment services or approved land development until each item is actually completed.

Mission

Serve people spiritually and practically, especially those rebuilding after homelessness, rehabilitation, illness, family disruption or financial hardship. The model combines ministry, restoration, housing support, workforce pathways, food-growing projects and community service.

Operating principle

Never casually mix family assets, business income, church donations or charitable grant funds. Each entity receives its own documents, EIN, banking, books, contracts and records.

Entity architecture

Family / for-profit sidePrivate trust, personal property and revenue businesses remain outside charitable and church accounts.

COORDINATES WITH — BUT DOES NOT COMMINGLE WITH

Kingdom Community Restoration FoundationPlanned charitable service nonprofit for grants, program partnerships, community services and measurable outcomes.

PROGRAMS MAY INCLUDE

The Keeper’s House + future community campusHousing/restart programs, gardens, food access, workforce activity, community facilities and legally approved rural-site services.

Execution plan

1. Governance first

Finalize mission and statement of faith.
Seat the initial board and define officer roles.
Adopt bylaws, conflict-of-interest policy and recordkeeping standards.
Create board minutes/resolutions and document retention process.

2. Formation & banking

Select the state of formation based on real operating plans.
Obtain EINs for each entity.
Open separate bank accounts only in the correct entity name.
Set accounting categories, approval limits and capital-reserve policy.

3. Tax & charitable compliance

Document church qualification requirements and federal filing strategy.
Form and pursue recognition for the service nonprofit when ready.
Complete charitable solicitation registrations where required before fundraising broadly.
Track restricted donations and grant funds by purpose.

4. Public launch

Publish mission, leadership structure and status disclosures.
Set up official email/domain and donor acknowledgments.
Create volunteer intake, safeguarding and privacy policies.
Publish project budgets only after figures are validated.

5. Grant readiness

Community-needs narrative and service population definition.
Program logic model, measurable outcomes and operating budget.
Board roster, formation records, policies and financial controls.
Funding calendar separated by church, nonprofit, agriculture and commercial uses.

6. Land / campus due diligence

Zoning and RV/multiple-unit rules.
Water, well, sewer/septic and electric feasibility.
Flood, access, easements, title, deed restrictions and environmental issues.
Realistic site-development budget and financing before purchase.

Planned program families

Ministry & spiritual care

Worship, prayer, teaching, fellowship, mentoring, pastoral support and volunteer service.

Housing & restart support

Future stabilization and supportive-housing pathways through qualified partnerships and properly approved facilities.

Workforce development

Job readiness, partner referrals and future on-site employment connected to legitimate operating activities.

Food & agriculture

Gardens, hydroponics, conservation, food access and eligible agricultural programming.

Community facilities

Future chapel, community center, laundry/showers, market/service space and caretaker operations as legally approved.

Rural pilot campus

Small phased campus with a service core and limited revenue-producing activity kept structurally appropriate for tax, grant and liability purposes.

Funding logic

Church resources

Donations, member giving, sponsors and ministry supporters.

Foundation grants

Housing, homelessness, workforce, food, community development and capacity-building opportunities after eligibility is established.

USDA / community facilities

Potential rural facility resources where the borrower, location and project purpose meet program rules.

FSA / NRCS

Potential support for legitimate eligible agriculture and conservation activities—not a substitute for church or housing capital.

CDFI / SBA-style financing

For qualifying commercial equipment or operating businesses, with debt repayment based on real revenue and underwriting.

Capital reserve

Preserve seed capital as reserves, match/equity and due-diligence money instead of exhausting it on one construction phase.

Compliance guardrails

Church funds ≠ nonprofit grant funds ≠ family trust funds ≠ commercial operating revenue.

No private benefit, personal expenses or undocumented transfers from charitable accounts.
No claim that a grant, license, zoning approval or tax status exists until it is documented.
No treatment, medical, legal or licensed social-service claims beyond the organization’s actual qualifications; use professional partners.
No land purchase should be labeled a “good deal” until title, zoning, utilities, permits, site conditions, full project cost, financing, exit strategy and downside risk are checked.
Any related-party agreement should be written, approved appropriately and priced/structured consistently with applicable law and fiduciary duties.

Immediate build sequence

NOW

Institutional foundation

Mission, board, governance documents, entity formation decisions, EIN/banking sequence, accounting controls and public-facing project materials.

NEXT

Funding package

Needs statement, program descriptions, budget templates, grant calendar, donor packet and partner outreach materials.

THEN

Pilot activity

Low-cost outreach and community partnerships that generate real operating history and measurable results.

AFTER DUE DILIGENCE

Property / campus

Acquire and develop only when the legal use, infrastructure, financing and operating model are validated.

This blueprint is a project-management document, not legal, tax, accounting, zoning or grant-approval advice. Formal filings and property decisions should be verified against the rules that apply at the time and place of action.
