ACBA

The Academy of Church Business Administration (ACBA), hosted by the General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA), is held in Nashville, TN. The ACBA delivers the high-quality education and certification program that church business administrators have come to expect. 

​

Through the ACBA, church administrators receive all the necessary in-classroom training to obtain their designation as a Certified Church Administrator (CCA) through The Church Network. United Methodist participants will also meet the requirements you will need to be a Certified United Methodist Church Administrator (CUMCA).

​

Rev. Dr. Bob Winstead, Director of the ACBA, has an extensive history with The Church Network and serves on their Professional Training and Standards Committee. GCFA is excited that Dr. Winstead serves as Director of the program and teaches participants in their classes, but also guides and directs capstone projects for those seeking certification.
