We know managing church finances can be overwhelming sometimes, especially when you have so many other responsibilities on your plate as a church leader. The Tennessee Baptist Foundation believes you should have the resources you need to succeed, so we are thrilled to be able to offer one particularly helpful tool for all Tennessee Baptist churches: CHURCHEXCEL.

TBF’s membership in the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA)* allows you free access to CHURCHEXCEL, a resource designed to help churches steward their finances well through webinars, electronic tax guides, ebooks, toolboxes, podcasts and more.
