Church administration is not glamorous. But when it breaks down, everything else breaks down with it. This guide gives small churches the administrative systems they need to function well without a full-time administrator.
What’s covered:
- Essential forms every small church needs (membership, benevolence, facility use, incident reports)
- Record-keeping systems for membership, giving, and ministry activity
- Meeting management: board meetings, congregational meetings, and committee meetings
- Volunteer coordination systems that don’t require a database
- Legal compliance basics: incorporation, 501(c)(3) status, and annual filings
- Personnel files and HR basics for churches with paid staff
- Digital tools that replace expensive church management software
- How to transition administrative responsibilities when a key volunteer leaves
- Annual administrative calendar and checklist
Includes 12 ready-to-use form templates. Written for the pastor or volunteer administrator who is managing church operations alongside everything else.
