Gospel Assembly Church

Tuition Information for Gospel Assembly Christian Academy

The document below is an invoice that was provided to Mr. & Mrs. Robert Mason and lists the "monthly tuition charge" for their son James. Lloyd L. Goodwin, from the school's inception, stated that the charge was not tuition and that the monies provided to the school should be claimed as a charitable donation on the parents' tax returns, so that the parents could get more on their tax returns and give that money to the church as well. Yet, Goodwin and Gospel Assembly set a specific amount that was to be paid for each student attending the school. The offering envelope below clearly indicates that any monies submitted through the "envelope system" would be listed as tax-deductible. Parents paid their tuition through the envelope system. Clearly, the Internal Revenue Service would be fascinated to learn that tuition paid to private, parochial schools is tax-deductible. Obviously, the Internal Revenue Service needs to update the tax code. We hope this webpage will alert the IRS of the facts of this situation.
