The Ministry of Money: Foundations for Faithful Financial Leadership
Church finance is not only a technical responsibility. It is a ministry of trust, clarity, accountability, and mission.
Monday nights at 7:00 pm Eastern
September 14, September 21, September 28, October 5
Registration deadline September 8th
This Cohort is for leaders who want to strengthen financial practices without separating money from ministry, mission, and faithful discernment
The Ministry of Money: Foundations for Faithful Financial Leadership is a four-week formation cohort for church treasurers, finance committee members, pastors, board members, and ministry leaders who want to approach financial leadership with both practical wisdom and spiritual grounding.
Facilitated by Keith Clark-Hoyos, this cohort invites participants to reframe the financial life of the church as part of its ministry. The work of budgets, reports, fiduciary responsibility, and financial communication is not separate from the church’s Calling. These practices shape trust, support discernment, and help the congregation understand how its resources serve its mission.
What Participants Will Explore
Over four weeks, participants will reflect on:
The treasurer’s role as a sacred assignment
Financial leadership as a ministry of trust
The spiritual dimensions of fiduciary responsibility
How financial language can build clarity or create anxiety
How reports tell the financial story of the church
How budgeting can become a ministry tool, not only a balancing exercise
How financial clarity supports congregational confidence and faithful decision-making
Who This Cohort Is For
This cohort is especially appropriate for:
Church treasurers
Assistant treasurers
Finance committee members
Pastors
Board and council members
Stewardship leaders
Congregational leaders who help interpret financial information or participate in budget decisions
Cohort Structure
This is a four-week cohort with one live session each week. Each session includes centering, guided dialogue, shared reflection, and practical connection to the participant’s own church context.
The four sessions are:
A Sacred Assignment
Reframing the treasurer’s role as ministry and recognizing why financial leadership matters.
Spiritual Leadership and Financial Language
Exploring fiduciary responsibility, accountability, and the language churches use around money.
Building Trust Through Financial Reporting
Understanding reports as tools for clarity, trust, and mission interpretation.
Budgeting as a Ministry Tool
Connecting budget practices with Calling, alignment, and faithful stewardship.
Why This Matters
Many church leaders inherit financial practices without much training, shared language, or theological grounding. Reports may be accurate but hard to understand. Budgets may be balanced but disconnected from mission. Treasurers and finance leaders may carry significant responsibility without enough support. This cohort helps participants approach church finance as a ministry of clarity. It is designed to strengthen the way leaders interpret financial information, communicate with care, and connect money to the congregation’s Calling.
Invitation
PRC invites church financial leaders, pastors, and governing body members to participate in this four-week cohort as a way of strengthening financial clarity, trust, and mission-centered leadership in the life of the church.
Individual Price $169 per person or a Church or Judicotory could purchase the cohort for $699.00 for all their congregation memebers.

Rooted in the Call: The Sacred Work of the Mission Keeper

Registration deadline September 8th
Rooted in the Call: The Sacred Work of the Mission Keeper
The chairperson’s role is not only to manage meetings. At its best, the role helps a governing body remain grounded in the church’s Calling, attentive to the Spirit, and faithful to the mission entrusted to the congregation.
Rooted in the Call: The Sacred Work of the Mission Keeper is a four-week formation cohort for church chairpersons, moderators, board chairs, council leaders, and other governing body leaders who want to lead with spiritual grounding, clarity, and discernment.
Facilitated by Keith Clark-Hoyos, this cohort invites participants to reframe the work of chairing as a sacred leadership responsibility. The chairperson helps shape the tone of meetings, the quality of conversation, the depth of discernment, and the way a board or council remains connected to the church’s mission.
What Participants Will Explore
Over four weeks, participants will reflect on:
- The chairperson’s role as Mission Keeper
- The difference between meeting management and spiritual leadership
- How Calling, Energy, Resources, and Discernment shape leadership
- How to create agendas that serve discernment, not efficiency alone
- How to facilitate dialogue that becomes more than debate
- How policies, practices, annual rhythms, and board culture can remain anchored in mission
- How the chairperson strengthens collaboration between board, pastor, and congregation
Who This Cohort Is For
This cohort is especially appropriate for:
- Church chairpersons
- Moderators
- Board chairs
- Council leaders
- Governing body officers
- Committee chairs
- Pastors who work closely with board or council leaders
- Congregational leaders preparing for future chairing responsibilities
Cohort Structure
This is a four-week cohort with one live session each week. Each session includes centering, guided dialogue, shared reflection, and practical connection to the participant’s own leadership context.
The four sessions are:
- The Call of the Mission Keeper
- Understanding the sacred role of the chairperson as Mission Keeper.
- Roots of Leadership
- Leadership identity grounded in Calling, Energy, Resources, and Discernment.
- Leading with Discernment
- Shaping agendas, listening for the Spirit, and facilitating meaningful dialogue.
- Anchoring in Mission
- Translating policy to practice, honoring the rhythm of the year, and nurturing the whole body.
Why This Matters
Many chairpersons inherit the role without much preparation. They may know how to open a meeting, follow an agenda, or call for a vote, but they may not have been formed to understand the spiritual influence their role carries.
A chairperson helps determine whether meetings become rushed, reactive, anxious, procedural, or discerning. The way a chairperson prepares, listens, frames conversation, and invites participation can shape the spiritual health of the entire governing body.
This cohort helps leaders chair with greater attentiveness. Participants will be invited to consider how their leadership can create space for trust, clarity, shared wisdom, and deeper alignment with the church’s Calling.
Invitation
PRC invites chairpersons, moderators, board chairs, council leaders, pastors, and emerging governing body leaders to participate in this four-week cohort as a way of strengthening the spiritual and practical work of church leadership.
