AMBS is pleased to offer several lifelong learning opportunities this fall. Please help us spread word of these events to others who might be interested.

  • Webinar: Congregational Finances and the Role of the Pastor

    Beryl Jantzi and Terry Shue
    Thursday, October 3, 10:00-11:30 a.m. EDT

Some congregations expect the pastor to engage at all levels and others try to separate the pastor as much as possible from the financial work of the church.
