Conference Hosts 2024 Treasurers’ Training

Story by Stephen Lee

Recently, the New Jersey Conference (NJC) Treasury Department held a Treasurers’ Training at the conference’s headquarters. The more than 120 attendees were comprised of local church treasurers, assistant treasurers, conference administrators and a few pastors. Speakers from the Treasury Department covered topics in Spanish and English, such as the role of the local church treasurer, Stewardship, Planned Giving, the Jewel Accounting System, and local church audits, to name a few. Also, two Adventist Risk Management representatives presented topics about claims, church safety, self-inspections and more. Attendees say they were blessed and motivated to continue working in local churches.

Carlos Portanova, conference treasurer, remarks, “Having all our treasurers and assistants attend this essential yearly training was a blessing.”

Attendee Faviola Martinez, Flemington church treasurer, says, “It was my first training as a treasurer. … We received great, practical information, and I was blessed to attend. I’m looking forward to the next treasury training.”
