Financial Relief for Congregations
Financial
relief for congregations comes in the form of "best practices" training
which enables each of our churches to set up their finances in a way
that maximizes the economic investment of each family. Specialized
training is available in matters of taxation and budgeting or for
financial "triage" in times of crisis.
Contact Brent for more information.

Financial Relief for Pastors
Financial
relief for pastors involves a two-step process. First, the District
provides a thorough assessment of the pastor's financial picture, with
personalized counsel regarding debt relief and budgeting with the
pastor's unique needs in mind.
Second, the Central District
provides financial assistance, in the form of grants, to help in times
of financial crisis. An application procedure will soon be in place to
begin the process of obtaining financial relief.
