About Upper Room Worship Ministries

  This is a ministry located in Manchester Iowa, Pastored by Joshua and Jennie Stiefel. We are a Holy Spirit led ministry, not just in words but also in actions. We work under the authority of the name of Jesus, we reach the lost for the kingdom, we disciple new believers, in the name of Jesus we heal the sick, in the name of Jesus we cast out demons, we know that the baptism of fire of the Holy Spirit is real, we know that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today and we believe in the word of God over false teachings of religion.   

      It may seem almost impossible to find a ministry in America today that is not afraid to teach truth or does not bend to the will of a fake woke society.  We are not your typical feel good rainbows and unicorn ministry, we know that truth will set you free and we only teach truth from God. We will not conform to this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds with the word of God. 

      We will NOT put a leash on Holy Spirit out of fear of what others may think! We are not focused on numbers, social media likes or popularity; we are focused on expanding the kingdom of our lord and savior Jesus.    

Upper Room Worship tax exempt status is covered as a ​religious organization under Section 508(c)(1)(A) 

Section 508(c)(1)(A) <http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode26/usc_sec_26_00000508----000-.html> states that "churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and conventions or associations of churches" are a mandatory exception to section 501(c)(3), they are already tax exempt without notifying or applying to the government under section 501(c)(3). Churches receive the same tax exempt status and benefits as a 501(c)(3) organization, without the partnership with the government. We do not have to lose our voice! 

In *IRS Publication 526* <http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p526.pdf>, Charitable Contributions, the IRS once again states that churches are qualified organizations and do not need to apply to the IRS: 

The church as described under IRC 508(c)(1)(A) is also known as a "Free Church". 

THIS MINISTRY IS NOT UNEQUALY YOLKED TO THE GOVERNMENT!
