Judicatory Accounting

Who We Serve

Church Training Center supports ministries of all sizes and settings — from local churches to denominational offices, and from faith-based nonprofits to national mission bodies.

This page is for judicatory leaders — conferences, presbyteries, dioceses, synods, associations, or regional boards — tasked with stewarding collective resources, overseeing compliance, and nurturing the vitality of the ministries you serve.

We understand the complexities of judicatory leadership because we’ve been there. Our founder, Keith Clark-Hoyos, brings firsthand judicatory experience and deep insight into what thriving leadership requires at this level.

We offer:

Professional accounting and dashboard reporting tailored to judicatory structures
Leadership formation, policy development, and compliance support for your board and finance team
Discounted training, coaching, and resources for your congregations to build strong, healthy ministries.

You don’t need to navigate this alone. We’re here to help you lead faithfully and steward well — across every ministry you support.

Designed for Denominational Leadership

Most judicatories choose between hiring an in-house bookkeeper or contracting with an outside accounting firm. Both may handle transactions — but neither is built for the complexity of judicatory leadership, compliance, or congregational health.

At Church Training Center, we serve judicatory offices with CPA-level accounting, governance-centered leadership support, and tools that strengthen your churches — because we understand your role.

Led by Keith Clark-Hoyos, a former judicatory executive, we know firsthand the oversight, reporting, and relational demands you carry. That’s why our packages include:

Executive-Level Accounting & Dashboard Reporting tailored to judicatory operations and fiduciary responsibility
Policy & Governance Support: Bylaw, contract, and insurance review + coaching to strengthen financial controls
Tax-Exemption Compliance Audits to safeguard your status and prevent costly missteps
Training for Governing Bodies: Ongoing webinars, resources, and leadership formation for finance committees and boards
Support for Your Churches: Cohort training, treasurer coaching, and access to the Effective Church Leadership Community — all at discounted rates for your member churches

We’re not just your accountant. We’re your strategic partner in building faithful oversight and healthy congregations.
