By: Doreen Gosmire, director of communications

Leading administrative practices and processes in your church can be a challenge...but also an opportunity for impactful stewardship of the human, financial and facility resources of your congregation.

View this video as panelists Jim Ducker, Dakotas Conference Executive Director of Finance and Administration, Al Roll, Dakotas Conference Missional Impact Coach, Dustin Strande, American Church Insurance Group, Diane Owen, Area Director of Clergy Wellbeing, Annie Carlson, Pastor for Washburn UMC and Center UMC, and JoAnn Early, Operations Director at Legacy UMC in Bismarck, ND, as they share some best practices and answer your practical questions related to church administration.

Key ideas include:
How to build a church budget and manage your financial resources to grow ministries.
Creating one board to lead, with subgroups, that carry the vision and manage ministries.
Practices that any church, no mattter the size, can put in place to enhance stewardship.
