About Administration, Financial, and Support Services

It’s a team effort to ensure that we are exercising proper stewardship and that each of our Core Ministries is fully aligned with our mission, vision, and values. Caring and planning are essential components of this process. Our team oversees finances, supports pastors, handles retirement/benefits, organizes clergy moves, organizes Annual Conference, and provides the necessary infrastructure to help keep the Conference functioning.

Areas of Focus

N

Protecting Our Children

Our calling is to provide safe sanctuary for all of God’s people, especially our children, youth, and vulnerable adults. We offer resources for creating child protection policies so that everyone within our Conference has the right to safe sanctuary.

N

Retirement & Pension

We value the future security and well-being of our members. That’s why we partner with Wespath to make saving for retirement easier. By providing resources and education, we help our clergy make confident decisions about their financial futures.

N

Property & Legal Resources

We know it can be difficult for our churches to navigate legal language. So we guide our congregations on property sales, property assessments, and bylaws.

N

Moving Clergy

Changing churches can be stressful. We offer suggested movers, give moving policies and procedures, and help arrange clergy’s moves from here to there.

N

Health Benefits

The health and wellness of our clergy and retirees are of utmost importance. That’s why we offer multiple plans and help you make decisions that are best for your family. We educate the Conference about HSAs, insurance rates, and retiree benefits.

N

Church Admin Support

There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes at a church. We offer governance training, bookkeeping setup, and church audits that can help make your job easier.
