This January, our team of 18 individuals representing five different states traveled to Kansas City to spend a couple of days together. As many of you know, planning retreats can be interesting… you want to get a lot done, but the connections and camaraderie formed do not come from a lot of structure. They come from just spending time together. This was so important for us because we are so spread out, with about 70% of our team working remotely.
We got a lot accomplished in two days!
In regards to strategic meetings, much of the time was focused on how we can continue to create and execute the best client experience in our industry. In other words, most of that time was focused on YOU and how we can live up to the standard that you deserve.
We also had time for some fun outside of meetings! We ate KC BBQ, visited an Escape Room, and Top Golf. We laughed, talked, and prayed.
I want you to know that our team is all in on our cause of protecting ministries and their unique exposures, and we will never stop looking for ways to improve!
From our entire team… God Bless you!
John Korsmo serves as President of American Church Group in the territories of Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, and Wyoming. Together, their team serves and insures around 3,000 ministries across six states.
There are a lot of hats worn in any growing ministry – and we want to serve every one of them.
With the holiday season right around the corner, it’s wise for ministries to evaluate their fire safety plan. Whether your ministry is hosting a holiday party, prepping treats for charity, or running a community kitchen, make sure you’re well-prepared with these tips.
The holidays present unique opportunities and challenges for churches that aren’t typical during other times of the year. A lot of the ministries that I work with are seeing steady increases in attendance and are praying for a significant jump in Christmas service participation this year.
In this article, Brad Brown from Plan A Wealth Management gives a wonderful insight into why ministries might consider choosing a 403(B)(9) retirement plan.
