For Pastors: Saving Grace for Clergy

Saving Grace for Clergy: For Pastors, e.g. Financial Planning, Clergy Tax Webinar

The Saving Grace series teaches about financial well-being and provides tools to help with managing, giving, saving, spending and debt. The Christian-based program incorporating Wesleyan values consists of six lessons, with three special sections specifically written for clergy, including:

• the unique rules that apply to pastor compensation

• clergy taxes

• pastoral financial leadership, including tips on preaching about money.

Continuing education unit (1.0 CEU) credit is possible for clergy who attend the course.

The course is held three times per year, meeting once a week over seven weeks.

Saving Grace offers relevant, Christian-based methods, techniques and ideas for gaining and maintaining control of your money, so it does not control you. 

 The cost of the clergy workbook is less than $25. The workbook includes forms and even offers PDF versions with built-in calculating.

 The group discusses and shares ideas along with the challenges of following the program. The instructors are experienced and knowledgeable about money management, clergy compensation and clergy taxes.
