Survey, Webinar to Assist Local Churches
The Church of God Benefits Board is partnering to bring resources and provide insights for the local church’s financial path moving forward amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
Benefits Board President and CEO Art Rhodes asks, “How is your church continuing to move forward financially? How has the pandemic impacted the finances in your church ministry?”
Partnering with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), a short survey is offered which will tally the findings and trends, and promptly report back to churches in an illustrated report and webinar, both on September 29, 2020 at 1:00 pm.
“You’ll learn specific ways the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) helped churches, their level of ‘optimism vs. pessimism’ toward their financial future (and how it’s changed over the last three months), factors that contribute to churches holding financially strong vs. hurting during the pandemic, and more,” Rhodes stated. “The report and webinar will offer excellent pointers as you plan – but ECFA first needs your help through quick participation by local church leaders!”
ECFA’s plan is to ask roughly the same questions every three months for a year, in order to track the progress of churches and ministries as they experience the economic impact of the pandemic.
The survey closes on Friday, September 11, 2020. Please share a bit of YOUR story in the short survey. Find details by clicking here:
