ISBN: 9780819217479.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePastors generally feel equipped to deal with biblical studies, theological questions, preaching responsibilities, and pastoral care. But when it comes to budgets, insurance, fire safety, and church management many find themselves at a loss. Often lay leaders within the congregation flounder with these tasks as well. Here, finally, is the ultimate reference guide for the practical management of the parish.\nOriginally created as a sourcebook for the authors week-long course on church management and administration at the Claremont School of Theology, the manual in draft version has been field-tested by hundreds of pastors and lay leaders. Not simply a theoretical resource, the Manual provides suggestions for almost every aspect of parish administration: position descriptions, various financial forms, materials for stewardship and Christian education, building use and safety issues, employee record keeping, and much more. Whether pastors 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Morehouse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213425926197,"sku":"ByrdShop_0819217476","price":83.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780819217479_7e1962b5-747f-45a5-8d64-02e31b16ffb3.jpg?v=1779914827","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/church-administration-and-finance-manual-resources-for-leading-the-local-church-9780819217479","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
