A field-tested guide to the management and finance of church congregations, revised for a new generation.
Clergy are generally equipped to preach and provide spiritual care. But when it comes to budgets, insurance, fire safety, and church management many find themselves at a loss. The Church Administration and Finance Manual is the classic guide to running a church, written to answer key questions for clergy and lay leaders.
Not simply a theoretical resource, the Manual provides suggestions for almost every aspect of parish administration: position descriptions, financial forms, materials for stewardship and Christian education, building use and safety issues, employee record keeping, and much more. This revised edition offers guidance on many new topics that are of vital importance to churches, including protecting children, information security, approaches to preventing and responding to violence, planned giving, social media, and hybrid work and worship.
Whether clergy are just out of seminary or well-seasoned in parish life, the Manual is full of excellent guidelines, tools, and forms for improving the management of the parish.
The Church Membership and Records Manual is a complete guide to the tools you need to set up and maintain the membership records for your church.
Comes with a digital supplement that contains all the records and certificates that a church needs to maintain an excellent membership record system.
The Church Financial Records Handbook is for Treasurers, Financial Secretaries and Other Church Officers.
Also comes with a digital download options for all of the forms presented in the handbook.
Job Descriptions and Leadership Training Guide provides short concise job descriptions for every position in the church. It also contains detailed guidance for the Committee on Nominations and Lay Leadership for identifying, recruiting, and resourcing leaders in the congregation.

Guidelines for Leading Your Congregation 2017-2020
By General Board Of Discipleship
The twenty-six Guidelines for Leading Your Congregation 2017-2020, one for each ministry area, cover church leadership areas, as well as areas focused on nurture, outreach, and witness. The booklets are tools that get new lay leaders off to a good start and as a reference resource for all lay leaders. Each booklet includes the basic “job description” for the leader as well as practical “how-to” information important to implementing ministry effectively. Brief and to the point making it a perfect resource for the busy, but spirit-led leader.
For many pastors, church administration may be their least favorite area of ministry. But whether they love it or loathe it, they probably spend more time on administration than on any other single area of ministry. This book will help pastors create and maintain effective structures that will enable them to spend most of their time on what they truly value. Describes church administration as a ministry in the small membership church.
Outlines key steps to organize and manage time, volunteers, and resources of the small membership churches including multi-point charges. Gives practical methods for creating and maintaining viable structures for effective church management.
Pastors are schooled in theology and ministry, but few receive training in the fine points of church administration. Learning how to handle a congregation’s finances “on the job” can be a harrowing experience. Yet efficiently managing your church’s business affairs is a key element in keeping current members satisfied with their pastoral leadership — and in attracting the new members you need for your church to grow in size and influence. In Basic Business Principles For Growing Churches, Arnold Cirtin shares expertise gained from more than four decades of corporate and academic experience.
