Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Can an incorporated church file for a DBA?

“John Doe” is the founder and the senior pastor of “XYZ Church”. The church has been legally incorporated in the state of NY and is in existence for more than 5 years.

Can “XYZ Church” file for a DBA in the name of its founder say “John Doe Ministries”? Is this legally legitimate? if yes, how do we file?

Yes the church is a corporation and can file a Certificate of Assumed Name ("doing business as").
