Becoming Prophet-able Leaders

a 5-week on-line course

Have you ever wanted to know more about church finance?  Are you invigorated or frustrated by finance committee meetings?  Do numbers make your eyes glaze over?  In seminary, did they teach you everything you need to know about financial management?  Is your congregation anxious about money?  Are you?

Invest a few of your continuing education dollars and a few of your study hours in a new on-line course in church finance.  Learn the basics of bookkeeping.  Explore the “new” non-profit accounting standards.

Concise and complete financial reporting can transform the financial mood in your congregation, as well as providing a strong and faithful foundation for increased contributions. The course will include bookkeeping basics, non-profit financial reporting formats, methods for review and interpretation of financial reports, as well as discussion of the pastor's role in the stewardship of the congregation’s resources.

The course is taught entirely online.  You can log on anytime at your convenience during the five week class period.

Course materials include brief articles available on-line, case studies, and a course handbook.

The course is offered through Andover-Newton’s Local Education and Renewal Network, for a cost of $125.  For further information and registration: www.ants.edu/learn.
