We all know and understand the necessity of proper stewardship of our resources, but we do not all know the best way to accomplish that work. On a Saturday in September several churches were represented in Yakima, Washington, as we heard from Rollie Persson of National Covenant Properties and Stan Reiff of Capin Crouse, a CPA and consulting firm devoted to serving not-for-profit organizations. This was the Financial and Real Estate Training for Church Leadership and Staff offered by National Covenant Properties. Over the day we gained insight on how to protect ourselves and our resources with integrity and security. It was a lesson in how to best offer transparency and safeguards to best care for what we in our churches have been entrusted with. This included how we approach the vital work of budgeting and care for our property. In the end we walked away with a toolbox of safeguards and inspiration on how to handle what we have been given for God’s mission priorities in our own local contexts.
