Join us for the Checklist Challenge! Best practices and good standing aren’t just about compliance—they’re about stewardship, transparency, and building long term trust. This practical, engaging training invites leaders to take part in the Good Standing Checklist Challenge, a guided walkthrough of best practices that strengthen governance, financial accountability, and operational health. Together, we’ll break down essential requirements into a clear, usable checklist—helping you assess where you are, identify gaps, and leave with concrete next steps you can put into action immediately. Whether you’re new to leadership or simply want to ensure your parish’s practices align with current standards, this session offers clarity, confidence, and tools you can use year-round. Come ready to check the boxes, ask questions, and strengthen your ministry for the future.
