Certification
Certification as a United Methodist Church business administrator signifies recognition by the denomination and peers of the certified person as having a special degree of professional attainment and commitment to the ministry of administration within The United Methodist Church.
The General Council on Finance and Administration is the certifying agency for United Methodist Church business administrators. The Council establishes the professional standards, training, and certification of church business administrators in partnership with the United Methodist Association of Church Business Administrators and the National Association of Church Business Administration.
In the process of certification, the Council receives recommendations for certification and recertification from the Executive Committee of the United Methodist Association of Church Business Administrators. When certification has been granted, each Certified United Methodist Church Business Administrator will receive a certificate to that effect. The General Council on Finance and Administration will advise the senior pastor and / or an officer of the institution and the Council on Finance and Administration of the appropriate annual conference.
