For a long time, only the treasurer had access to the accounting program. The accounting program was usually on the oldest computer in some corner of the church where only the treasurer was brave enough. With QuickBooks Online, anyone can have access from anywhere so who should have access?
The most intimidating part of being a church treasurer is the payroll. I’ve had the privilege of helping a lot of folks with this over the years. I decided to make an online calculator to help Global Methodists pay their pastor correctly.
Looking ahead to 2024, the Global Methodist Church has put out a new Pension Contribution Form. I walk through how to use it.
Many months ago, a friend asked me about how to keep track of donations in Google Sheets…the Google version of Microsoft Excel. Long story short, I decided today was the day to look into this. Feel free to make a copy of my spreadsheet for your own use.
As Global Methodist churches are preparing for the new year, an important part of the budget is Connectional Funding. The vast majority of Global Methodist churches have never calculated how much they were to support their denomination. I thought this would be a good excuse for a new spreadsheet.
Many churches are preparing budgets and plans for 2024. A big part of that budget and plan is usually the pastor. I put together some tools to help set the pastor’s compensation in the Global Methodist denomination.
I spent most of the last month putting in a concrete basketball court in my backyard. I learned a lot about concrete…and a little about life.
