Are you encountering problems balancing next year’s budget? Raising a special fund to fix the roof? Planning a capital campaign? Your prospects for success will improve materially if you set the stage properly for members and prospective members. We will examine the connection between mission and money and offer solutions that can improve parish financial sustainability.
FACILTATOR: Jim Elrod helps lay and ordained church leaders identify and address the strategic and financial challenges their parish faces. He is on the faculty of Yale Divinity School where he teaches courses on finance and crisis management. Jim also serves on the governing boards of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, Christ Church Greenwich, The Church of the Ascension (Saranac Lake, NY), Yale New Haven Hospital, and Yale New Haven Health System. His most recent book ‘Creating Financially Sustainable Congregations’ was published in 2021.
