ABC’s of Church Finance
An Online Teaching Seminar on church finance with former FMCUSA Chief Operating Officer, Larry Roberts.
The church treasurer’s role is among the most important jobs in the church, but it’s usually a volunteer position, and there are a lot of eccentricities to church accounting. These things only apply to churches, not other enterprises. In the following seminar, Larry Roberts, former chief operating officer of the FMCUSA, explains the basics that every church needs to know about getting organized, paying the pastor, issuing receipts, and more. The entire seminar lasts 37 minutes, but it’s also available in six bite-sized pieces on the topics listed below that run individually from 3 to 13 minutes. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to learn everything you’ll need to know to keep your church legal and operating with integrity!
