Trustee Resources

Trustees are stewards of the property that God has entrusted to their congregations. This includes supervising and maintaining both the physical property of the congregation and gifts made to the congregation so that the ministries of the congregation can be effective, and that all legal requirements related to the property are satisfied. If you are in this “trusted” position, we hope what’s on these pages will help you.
