IT’S GREEK TO ME!

Reading Financial Statements

Reverend Dr. Rob Hagan, Ministry Relations Officer, Presbyterian Foundation

Ben Hayden, Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, Presbyterian Foundation

We parse verbs in our Nestle Greek bible. We make sure we know the prefixes and suffixes of many nouns and the syntax. However, when it comes to financial statements, we use the old adage “It’s Greek to me!” As a pastor, I was never trained to read financial statements.

The Foundation has a fix for that! We are offering a webinar on how to read financial statements, balance sheets, monthly reports, end-of-the year reports, etc. We will be watching two or three professional produced videos in the Church Financial Leadership Academy, (CFLA) which the Foundation developed using a Lilly grant.

You can sign-up for the CFLA by visiting churchfla.com.
