Praise for the Frieze Resource Library

What a time-saver! I access the consulting library almost daily. It literally saves my staff and me hours in research—someone else has already done the legwork, which gives us a tremendous head start. The program is very easy to use, the typing has already been done and the formatting makes it very professional—we can customize the documents to our needs with minimal effort. A must for any size church who desires to get His house organized and operating in a more ‘decent and orderly’ manner!

—Jodie Sell, Business Manager, Coker United Methodist Church, San Antonio, Texas

Since becoming the Administrator of First Baptist Church Windermere, I have found that the church was way behind the curve in documenting almost everything—policies and procedures, job descriptions, personnel evaluations, etc. As a result, I needed a lot of help in creating items to meet the various demands. I purchased the Frieze Resource Library to help me as the Business Administrator. I have found that it exceeds my expectations. A template exists for just about anything I have ever needed. Also, the entire Library is very user friendly (and I’m not exactly a computer geek either!) and serves as a tremendous church administration tool!

—Steve Marcereau, Business Administrator, First Baptist Church, Windermere, Florida

The Frieze Resource Library is a must for every church, particularly those with multi-staffing. We use these resources in our regional office and are extremely pleased. I highly recommend this library to any church leader who is responsible for providing management and administrative oversight to His church.

—Dr W.L. Parrish II, Executive Director, American Baptist Churches of the South, Baltimore, Maryland

One of the most important procedures that any ministry must implement for the development of an effective and efficient ministry, is that of preparing and maintaining proper and adequate documentation of its operations. Documentation is the ministry’s representation of the past, present and future. The primary purpose of this manual is to bring consistency to the many applications of church operations.

The Administrative Forms Manual includes a vast assortment of illustrative forms, reports, worksheets, checklists, etc., which support the various operations of the church. Thirteen separate administrative sections have been created to facilitate easy reference and use of the documentation. Specific forms are easily located by means of a separate table of contents for each section. Each form is assigned a different number for referencing purposes. These forms can be used “as is” or modified.

Internal auditing is value-added auditing—auditing specific areas of the church which add value to the ministry’s overall purpose, and risk assessment auditing—auditing areas where ministry risks and exposures might exist. Church leaders must not only strive to accomplish their ministry goals and objectives, but they must also provide reasonable assurance to their members and the world-at-large of the following priorities:

• Effectiveness in accomplishing ministry goals and objectives
• Efficiency in performing ministry responsibilities and duties
• Wise stewardship in the use of ministry resources
• Reliability in the reporting of ministry finances
• Compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations
• Observance of internal policies, standards and procedures
• Assessment of possible risks and exposures to the ministry

Internal Auditing will assist leadership in the fulfillment of each of these priorities

The Internal Audit Checklists have been designed to provide a means for reviewing the internal workings of the ministry on a periodical basis. This resource explains how to establish an effective Internal Audit Committee for your ministry and provides specific responsibilities and duties for the committee. Actual comprehensive internal audit checklists are provided for the committee’s use. The checklists are designed for immediate use, but a separate “How to Use Checklists” section has been prepared to assist in more effectively using them. Why spend a countless number of hours in researching numerous books and publications relating to administrative and managerial issues of the church, when one comprehensive resource covers the most prevalent issues?

Personnel related issues are a constant challenge in most every ministry. Many of these challenges typically stem from a simple misunderstanding between the employee and the employer. To reduce the likelihood of such misunderstandings, proper documentation must be prepared which outlines the facts regarding issues, and this documentation must be shared with the employee to create an understanding. Preparing such documentation is one of the most important components for developing good staff relations. As a church or ministry begins to hire employees for works of ministry, it becomes critical that they begin the process of developing and maintaining an official Employee Handbook. If properly prepared, this Handbook will address and systematically guide the employee in a broad range of personnel-related issues.

The Employee Handbook is designed to assist leadership in communicating to employees important personnel policies and procedures. The Handbook can also serve as an important orientation tool when new employees are hired. The Introduction to the Handbook can be personalized to whatever degree the user so desires. All employment related sections found in the Handbook represent an abbreviation of the ministry’s official personnel policies and procedures. Appropriate Acknowledgement of Receipt forms are also provided for the employee to complete and return to the employer.

Throughout the Handbook the employee is provided with hyperlinks that direct them to related policies found in the ministry’s official Policies and Procedures Manual, or to organizational issues, found in the ministry’s official Organizational Manual. Hyperlinks are also provided to administrative forms that the employee will need to complete as they serve in their ministry position. These forms are found in the ministry’s official Administrative Forms Manual.
