Meet Your Instructor

Hi! My name is Angela Harders, and I am a certified teacher and PMA Advisor that left the public school classroom in order to teach people about the Power of Private Membership Associations (PMAs).

I am passionate about faith and freedom and inspiring YOU to walk in the freedom that you already have. I look forward to asking and answering critical questions about PMAs with you!

Types of Private Membership Associations

Faith-Based Organization

There are many different types of faith-based organizations (FBO):

  • Private Education Associations (PEA)
  • Private Farm Association (PFA)
  • Private Health Associations (PHA)
  • Private Membership Associations (PMA)
  • Private Social Clubs (PSC)

FBOs focus on one singular mission.

Faith-Based Ministry

A Faith-Based Ministry (FBM) is ideal for entrepreneurs that would like to have the most freedom and flexibility. With an FBM, your ministry can encompass a wide variety of projects or "sub-ministries" and offer a many different types of services for its members ranging from:

  • education
  • natural and raw foods
  • alternative therapies
  • counseling
  • and more!
Unincorporated Church

An Unincorporated Free Church is a 508(c)(1)(a) non-profit association. Every church can and should be established as a 508(c)(1)(a) instead of a 501(c)3. Churches that are established as a PMA have a mandatory exemption from filing or reporting to the IRS or petitioning non-profit status because they are already automatically tax exempt.
