Cash Management & Financial Planning

Helping churches manage resources wisely with planning, investment support, and financial care for both the church and its staff.

  • Ensuring that you have the cash needed for operations while earning a good return.

  • Helping understand what the need for cash will be and guiding the plan.

  • Providing better and best options for using your cash effectively based on need.

  • It’s not just the organization that needs this assistance but your staff as well

Organizational Stewardship

Helping churches identify risks, strengthen compliance, and put safeguards in place to protect their mission, people, and operations.

  • What are the specific risks that your organization needs to be aware of?

  • How do we craft policies, processes reporting and insurance to protect the integrity of the organization and individuals?

  • Ensuring churches meet key legal, financial, and HR requirements

  • Helping churches stay aligned with laws and regulations that govern ministry and funds

  • Our services are available to churches that affirm the historic Nicene Creed — including independent and nondenominational congregations.

  • Many independent churches don’t have access to the kinds of support systems that denominations often provide. By joining the Nicene Network, churches can gain access to essential services—like church planting support, employee benefits, and administrative resources

  • Not at all. Nicene Network does not govern, manage, or appoint leadership in any member church. Your church remains fully self-governing—financially, operationally, and spiritually. We simply provide resources, relationships, and quality-assured services.

  • For a limited time, churches can partner with the Network for just $99 for a full year. This special offer is available during our introductory launch phase.

    Afterward, partnership support will be priced on a tiered or budget-based model (ranging from 0.25% to 1.0% of annual budget, or a fixed rate by church size).

    100% of your partnership support goes toward planting churches

WHY IT MATTERS

Independent doesn’t mean alone.
We help churches thrive with resources and relationships - so they can lead with confidence and focus on what matters most.
