Help Shape the Future of Our Leadership Program - Please Vote

Local churches today face increasing complexity—financial oversight, human resources, legal compliance, and operational systems—all while maintaining vibrant ministry. To meet these challenges, we are updating a program designed specifically for executive and senior pastors, as well as other local church leaders, to gain business and operations skills essential for effective church administration. Previously titled the Academy of Church Business Administration, we are seeking a revised name to accurately reflect that this is specifically for pastoral and business staff of local churches. 

This initiative will provide practical training in areas such as:

• Finance and budgeting

• Human resources and staff management

• Risk and compliance

• Organizational systems and processes

Our goal is to equip leaders with the tools they need to manage the administrative side of ministry confidently, so they can focus on what matters most: leading healthy, sustainable congregations.
