Church Administration Certification

This opportunity will include:

  • administration coaching for the senior pastor

  • administration coaching for the governing board chair

  • administration coaching for the church treasurer

  • educational/training opportunities for all pastors, board members and treasurer

This opportunity covers much more than just the bylaws and finances of the church. It will include, but not limited to:

  • leadership development - understanding leadership styles, needs and communication

  • meeting federal and state compliance issues

  • implementing proper policies and procedures

  • risk management

  • financial issues and practices

If you would like to request specific research or arrange an educational seminar, please contact the ABC's of Church Management staff. Fees for services range from $40 per hour (negotiated for small churches) to a project fee that is negotiated directly with the church/pastor to cover an entire project (ex.: writing/revising bylaws, completing 501(c)(3) application, creation of employee handbook, audit reviews, etc.).
