Financial Peace for
Small Churches

Simple, trustworthy accounting with mission-aligned support.

We do more than bookkeeping—we help your church lead with confidence.

Who We Serve

Small churches deserve more than spreadsheets. You deserve a partner who understands your mission, your budget, and your leadership.

Why We're Different

Most firms stop at bookkeeping. We go further—because your church needs more than numbers.
At Church Training Center, we understand the spiritual and practical realities small churches face. That’s why we combine professional accounting with coaching, training, and resources that empower your leaders to govern faithfully and steward wisely.
