Online Events

Pension Fund is also providing several online courses on topics in Congregational Financial Leadership in partnership with Lexington Theological Seminary. Find more about this year’s sessions here.

For these sessions, pastors are expected to invite lay financial leaders from their church to join them for the courses. Together, pastors and lay leaders will participate in the courses and share dialogue around the financial issues facing their congregations. We ask that you gather at least two lay leaders to join the pastor for these sessions, though you are welcome to have as many people participate as your space and technology will accommodate.

To participate, all you need is a high-speed internet connection and a computer with speakers. For a small group, your participants can gather around a single computer screen. For larger groups, you will want a larger TV screen or projector, with speakers loud enough for people to hear the presenter.

After you register, you'll receive detailed instructions on how to log in and participate in the events.

Topics for these sessions can include:

  • Creating and sustaining income for congregations
  • Budgets and financial reporting for churches
  • Best practices for your congregation as an employer
  • Preaching and shepherding abundant giving
