In an article orignally posted on www.christianpost.com, Stephanie Samuel discusses how a current court case could affect how churches can compensate pastors pre-tax through the use of a housing allowance.

Still thinking it is too difficult to have email addresses for your staff and volunteers at your churches domain? Does your church have a domain? Do you know what a domain is? Chances are you do know what a domain is, just may not realize it. A domain, or domain name, is the name you… Continue reading Church Email Address – Effectively using email for your ministry
Very cool explanation of the Christmas story. Always interesting to think about what actually happened to Mary and Joseph, the faith it took and how faithful they were. Also neat to consider what it would have looked like if Jesus had come in modern times.
