The mission statement of the Evangelical Counsel of Financial Accountability is “enhancing trust in Christ-centered churches and ministries.” Financial consultant and best-selling author Dave Ramsey says, “Applying biblical stewardship can transform lives.” How does your church enhance trust in the critical area of stewardship? How does your church empower the congregation to make wise financial decisions in their personal lives so they can be more generous with the resources God has given them? The following organizations, credit unions and resources will help your church and congregation get their finances in order so that God’s mission can reach its maximum potential in your church and community.
