HOW CARE WORKS
CARE serves early-career pastors and their congregations through pastor compensation coaching for congregational boards and financial management coaching for pastors.

FINANCIAL COACHING
Pastors/Ministers
Working with a certified financial planner (CFP), pastors/ministers work through essentials of personal financial well-being like establishing emergency funds and creating a budget; consolidating loans; setting family financial goals.
Congregational Boards
Working with a congregational coach, church boards and finance committees are presented with best practices in structuring pastor compensation for:
-
-
IRS compliance
-
Leveraging compensation dollars for maximum pastor benefit
-
PASTOR RENEWAL GRANTS – PASTORS/MINISTERS
A limited number of pastor renewal grants are available to qualifying pastors, recommended by regional pastors, to address the negative impact of ministry stress on emotional and spiritual health.
For more information, contact CARE administrator at CAREadmin@chog.org or 800-848-2464.
