CHURCHES

Sunday Comes Every Week

• local church governance

• equity share agreements

• tax-exemption applications, or

• board meetings

Whether your congregation is Main Line, Evangelical, or Non-Denominational; meets in a house or on a large campus; is Staff-led or Lay-led; has an Elder Board or Leadership Team; has an Executive Pastor or not...
