You should first contact the church directly. If you are unable to get the information straight from the church, there are many non-profit lookup sites available online (although some of them require registration). If you use the one linked below (which does NOT require registration; there is just a five query per day limit), just enter the name of the church or the zip code to select it from a list of non-profits in your city.
You may also be able to do a search for it from your state's Secretary of State website. Good luck! :-)

I agree to some extent. But consider what they do with all of that revenue. They spend most of it on salaries and expenses which eventually flows back to the communities - or at least the private sector. The part they spend on real estate of course never goes back. And they pay no real estate taxes. Most churches seem to be cash poor and real estate rich. Since they do more good than harm I can live with it.

Ask them. But as long as they ARE tax-exempt, you don't need their number to show contributions as a charitable deduction, you just need a receipt from them saying the amount that you donated.

If they won't tell you, the number is the LEAST of your issues with the church.
