Client's voice

Mr. M

[Reason for choosing]

　I was worried because I had heard that it was difficult for religious corporations to get approval, but I was given an easy-to-understand explanation that there was a possibility of approval if I told them the truth and went through the process with guidance, and I felt I could trust them. I did.
He also attended consultations with the government, and now, while receiving guidance from the government, he is devoting himself to missionary work while waiting for approval.

Steps for establishing a religious corporation

A religious corporation cannot be established unless it is certified by the competent authority.

It certifies the rules of a religious organization, but prior consultation with the competent authority is required.

A brief summary of the process for establishing a religious corporation is as follows.

We will run alongside you until the establishment!

The Religious Corporations Act defines the following requirements for religious organizations.

In order to become a corporation, it must meet these requirements and have a facility for worship.

・ Spread the doctrine

・Perform ritual events

・Educating and nurturing believers

・Equip worship facilities

If you are checked by the local government, you will receive a model answer like the one above.

The requirements for religious corporations are not very difficult for organizations that normally carry out religious activities.

But in realityThe number of new religious corporations established is small, with many prefectures not even having one a year, and major prefectures having two or three a year.This is the story.

As a reason

・There is no objective proof of continued religious activities (few)

・As the representative is carrying out the activities alone, it is difficult to consider them as group activities.

・There is no acceptable reason for conducting the event at that facility. (Is this possible at home?)

・It has a large amount of business revenue and is not recognized as a religious organization.

-Doctrineis vague and inconsistent.

etc., if there are reasons why it is difficult to believe that various requirements are met,

Often not recognized as a “religious organization under the Religious Corporations Act”It is.

After being recognized as a "religious organization based on the Religious Corporations Law" and having a track record of activities for a certain period of time, you will finally be able to apply for the establishment of a religious corporation.

The fixed period varies depending on the local government, but it is said to be approximately three years.

Religious groups who come to our company for consultation once went to the local government on their own, but they don't know how to deal with the reason why the government did not recognize the problem as difficult. So I think there are many people who would like to consult with us.

We will work with you to find a solution to your problem in this way.

In Japan, there is freedom of religion, and I think it is a culture that Japan should be proud of.

In order to carry out the activities of religious groups permanently, it is necessary to protect the worship facilities and carry out stable missionary activities.

This will help protect the organization and believers.

We strongly feel the significance of supporting the establishment of religious corporations.

We look forward to hearing from you.
