If you’re reading this, chances are you are a treasurer or rely on a treasurer. What is the biggest mistake treasurers are most prone to making? Is it tax related? Is it investing? What about journal entries? Well, it’s none of those, but the mistake is likely making ministry much more difficult than it needs to be.
Do you have Student Loans? If you do, you’ve likely seen the blurbs on the news and social media about President Biden declaring that $10,000 will be forgiven. Is this too good to be true? I explore eligibility requirements and how to apply in this post and video.
As an accountant, I started out loving Red Tape. I liked being able to navigate all the tax rules and forms. I knew that people would need me to guide them through the process.
20 years later, I’m not as big of a fan. Red Tape makes ordinary work more complicated. So…which denomination is making more work for their churches through Red Tape?
This week I look into the Trust Clause. The history of the Trust Clause is fascinating. This was a brilliant solution by John Wesley that helped build and stabilize the Methodist movement.
Is the Trust Clause valuable today? That’s what I look into.
This is a different post than usual. I had an interview with retired pastor, Roger Spahr. Roger had served as a District Superintendent and had had success in recruiting pastors. Roger shares his thoughts on what he looks for in a potential pastor as well as some valuable advice for churches in need of a pastor.
Last week I looked at the cost difference between the United Methodists and the Global Methodists. This week I’m looking at the benefits. This was a difficult one as the GMC is only about four months old. They have more promises than proven benefits. I still did make an effort with what I’m aware of. I hope it helps!
A lot of attention has been spent talking about the cost of disaffiliating from the United Methodist denomination. While this is important, it’s a one-time cost. What about the ongoing costs? While there are many unknowns, there are some costs that are fairly certain…at least in the short-term.
