THE
SWORD
OF
THE SPIRIT
2015, 2016, 2017
What is IRS Form 990? Intuit, makers of Turbotax, describe the form:
“IRS Form 990 is an informational tax form that most tax-exempt organizations must file
annually. In a nutshell, the form gives the IRS an overview of the organization's activities,
governance and detailed financial information.
Form 990 also includes a section for the organization to outline its accomplishments in the
previous year to justify maintaining its tax-exempt status. In collecting this information, the IRS
wants to ensure that organizations continue to qualify for tax exemption after the status is
granted.
The following are the most recent, publicly available tax documents of the Sword of the
Spirit Covenant Community. The person filing the document is Gerald Munk listing the
address of the organization as 4828 S Hagadorn St, East Lansing MI 48823.
There were seven voting members of the Sword of the Spirit ‘governing body,’ three
independent voting members of the governing body, 26 employees and 100 volunteers
listed in the 2015 tax document which is publicly available online.
Interesting tidbit: The Servants of the Word – a celibate, single for the Lord men’s group
founded by Steven B Clark - received $186,701 in fees in 2015. Under the section marked
“Description of Services,” their ‘services’ are described as ‘contract wages.’
Total Revenues for 2015 were $1,675,848, slightly smaller than Total Expenses of
$1,681,225.
It is unclear if these funds include the tithes of each member community, or their tithe to
the Sword of the Spirit umbrella organization.
Plenty of interesting reading in documents about money from a secretive group with a
history of cult accusations.
