SERVICES FOR YOUR CHURCH

by Bill Barnes
Financial Services Committee

At the Annual Meeting of June 2002, we heard the news of a longtime sought-for program, by Financial Services and the NACCC staff, for a benefits package available to clergy and staff of NACCC Churches, that would accept our varied numbers and locations in their group plans. The September issue of the NACCC News briefly explained the program with instructions for further information. Thanks to the Oak Creek staff!

Financial Services has, over the years, provided resource materials and leadership, assisting local churches in specific needs such as:

·Fundraising
·Insurance Benefits & Compensations
·Budget Consulting
·Property Management
·Financial Stewardship ·Regional Financial Team Services
·Building & Loan

We provide regional financial advisors, which allows a closer contact and may provide insight to financial questions specific to your area or state. These advisors are available to speak of our services to your church or association.

Our national office will be pleased to receive inquires concerning Financial Services. Please call (800) 262-1620.
