Greetings in the name and spirit of Jesus. The Conference Council on Finance and Administration is charged with oversight for the financial ministry of the Annual Conference.
Living into God's vision for the United Methodists in Eastern Pennsylvania requires resourcing by the generosity of connected congregations for the greater ministry and leadership from those who manage and account for financial resources.
The goal of the Finance Department, the members of CCFA and the various members of the Annual Conference leadership, is excellence in leadership and management. We're recently hired new team members, and we will be hiring a new Treasurer/CFO in short order.
Please take note of our new finance staff along with their designated expertise and role. Feel free to reach out to them with your questions or suggestions. As we navigate this time of transition, please feel free to contact me also if I can be of assistance.
