About this program


A monthly series for Church Treasurers 

4th Wednesday of each month, 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET

Join us every month for keep up to date on the latest news and advice for treasurers, trustees, payroll contacts and more.

The “business of church” is complicated. Whether you’re wondering about the latest government grants, or looking for advice on leasing space, maintaining a big property, or the best practices around managing a cemetery, there will be something for you here. This group began in the pandemic as a place for Treasurers to hear from our denomination’s Chief Financial Officer. It has proven so popular that we’re expanding the scope of programming and the variety of presenters.

Everyone enrolled in the program will receive monthly updates before each live session.

You'll also find a discussion forum where you can post questions and comments between our live meetings. Posts to the discussion forum are emailed to everyone who's enrolled in this course, so you can carry on the conversation between meetings.
