Articles for Deacons, Financial Advisors, and Trustees

Our churches believe in offering counsel and support to our members who struggle financially. Deacons and other individuals are frequently asked to serve as financial counselors, advisors, or trustees. Helping a struggling brother or family in this way is an act of service, and usually the problems confronted are challenging and complex. Personal, financial, and spiritual issues are often mixed together.

Anabaptist Financial has received numerous requests to provide teaching for church leaders, financial advisors, and trustees. In response to this need within our constituency, Anabaptist Financial provides the Seminar for Deacons, Financial Advisors, and Trustees in various communities. Some of the topics presented at past seminars are printed in this booklet for further study and training.

These topics are designed for those who work with and help others in financial distress, rather than directly for those who are personally struggling with financial difficulties. We trust this booklet will assist the deacons, financial advisors, and trustees among us in their challenging but necessary service to our churches and communities.
