Yes.The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), the faith-based organisation to which I belong, is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation. That would be the appropriate non-profit category for a faith-based organisation in the USA.
According to IRS Publication 557, 501(c)(3) is the appropriate category for "Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National or International Amateur Sports Competition, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals Organizations".
