Financial and Real Estate Training
As we partner together in ministry, NCP is very excited to offer Financial and Real Estate Training as additional resources to churches of The Evangelical Covenant Church. These are free financial seminars designed for church pastors, Treasurers, church leadership and staff to ensure they have the tools available to provide good financial reporting and to effectively understand and communicate the financial budget to stakeholders, as well as evaluate potential real estate/facility projects.
