Thanks for your question. The Financial Shalom Project seeks to holistically respond to the financial challenges facing our pastoral leaders. A significant portion of the project is devoted to support our pastors by providing grants for a variety of financial needs. Additionally, when we surveyed our CRC pastors last year, we found that many of them desired further training and resources for personal and church financial management. We are responding to that expressed need by offering personal financial management training, online resources, consultation with financial professionals, and church stewardship training.
We hope that by having a multi-faceted approach--where immediate financial relief is paired with ongoing financial skills--pastors will experience a renewed sense of financial shalom.
