Tar River Offering Church Finance Training

Picture
In recent years a LOT has changed with regard to record keeping for churches.  Ministerial and church tax issues are unique and many CPAs and accountants, as well as those who prepare taxes are not familiar with issues related to the church and/or clergy.  TRBA stands ready to assist you individually, as a church, and is offering training on a REGULAR basis in 2012 to assist our treasurers, finance committees, deacon chairs, and minstry staff.  With 65-85% of the churches in NC operating outside the law, we believe our witness for  our Lord MUST be better!

We are offering BOTH morning and evening sessions every time we offer training/seminars.  Currently, sessions are planned for:
  • Tuesday, February 21st at 9:30 AM with Guidestone representatives sharing specifics on ministerial tax issues.
  • Tuesday, February 21st at 6 PM Dougald will give an overview of the morning's meeting with those that could not attend.
  • March 27th:  10 AM and 6 PM - Finance Seminar - Looking at Disbursements, Safeguarding/recordkeeping, and reporting.
There will be additional times as well when we repeat the process (at the very least).  Do not forget, we will work with the church on a one-to-one basis as well.  Feel free to contact Dougald at dougald@tarriverbaptist.com  or 919-496-7172 for more information.
