Board of Directors Handbook

Many of those sitting on the Board of Directors lack business backgrounds, and have never been taught what the fiduciary responsibilities of the Trustee’s are, and they lack understanding of the many issues they face.

The articles contained herein address many of the legal and IRS issues that church leaders face in the handling of every day church business. We have addressed many of these issues in our Church Administration ‘How To’ Manual, but we felt that there was a need to gather this information into one concise handbook.
