Galilee Baptist Church started The Rephidim Project ministry in 2001, and currently supports the ministry financially as a mission agency. The Rephidim Project was incorporated as a nonprofit organization under the fiscal sponsorship of Galilee Baptist Church in the State of Maine in 2016 with a Board of Directors which manages the operation of the ministry. In 2018 The Rephidim Project was granted official 501(c)(3) status by the US Internal Revenue Service. With this change, Galilee Baptist Church no longer serves as the fiscal sponsor of The Rephidim Project, which now functions as a fully independent non-profit ministry.
