Generosity Department is an NACBA training product for church staff and/or lay leaders who have responsibility for stewardship education and development in their congregation. This training product introduces generosity as a viable and effective Biblical principle and a Christian value for 21st century Christian discipleship. One of the outcomes of an emphasis on generosity is that the congregation’s mission can be funded, not because members have to give, but rather because members will want to be generous. It is time for a generosity department in every church.

Facing Our Losses, Finding Our Future

Many congregations are experiencing significant change both within and beyond their walls, and both members and leaders feel a sense of loss in the midst of these changes. In the midst of change, loss, and grief, congregations yearn for leadership—typically with differing expectations of what constitutes effective leadership in response to their needs, hopes, and priorities. At the same time, congregations resist leadership. After all, leadership assumes those who follow will be open to more change.

Strategic Leadership for a Change provides congregational leaders with new insights and tools for understanding the relationships among change, attachment, loss, and grief. It also helps to facilitate the process of grieving, comprehend the centrality of vision, and demonstrate theological reflection in the midst of change, loss, grief, and attaching anew. All this occurs as the congregation aligns its vision with God’s and understands processes of change as processes of fulfillment.

Drawing on attachment theory, leadership studies, and biblical and theological resources, McFayden’s work is invaluable for leaders whose congregations face change, experience loss, wonder about their future, and yearn for leadership.

Auditors have been routinely recommending that their clients implement stronger fraud prevention measures beginning by performing a fraud risk assessment. But, for the most part, this is not taking place in the church environment. Most business administrators are stretched for time as it is and cannot squeeze one more thing into their tightly packed schedules. Also, because the task is so immense, and the ways a church can be abused are so varied, most business administrators would not even know where to begin, even if they had the time; fraud protection is complicated.

The purpose of this short book is to help break this logjam created by these very common reasons for not taking anti-fraud steps. As you make your way through its pages, please keep three things in mind. First, it was my intention to keep the book short. Creating a huge manual might scare off time-starved administrators. Second, the book can be the starting point of a church’s fraud prevention measures; the basis on which to perform a fraud risk assessment. Third, it is organized in such a way as to take some of the complications out of the process. After two chapters which define and describe fraud, come ten chapters, each represented by a question every church should ask of itself. Each question represents an important aspect in fraud prevention.

Church fraud prevention is not really about protecting cash and property. Even though the church’s people are much more important than its bank accounts, the ultimate purpose is also not the protection of the employees and volunteers who handle the church’s finances. The main function of fraud prevention in the church is protection of the Lord’s name and the unimpeded furtherance of His work.
