Needing to improve your business skills for your ministry? Attend the Academy of Ministry Management, teaching you administrative skills like HR, Finance, technology, and operations through tailored training to fit your needs.
Faithful leadership requires more than calling—it requires clarity, strategy, and strong management skills.
The Academy of Ministry Management (AMM)—formerly the Academy of Church Business Administration—has been reimagined to equip today’s pastors and church leaders with the practical tools needed to lead thriving ministries.
Rooted in the connectional strength of The United Methodist Church, AMM brings together experienced leaders from across the denomination to offer real-world training in essential operational areas that sustain and strengthen ministry.
Participants will gain practical, immediately applicable skills in:
- Financial management and stewardship
- Human resources and staff leadership
- Insurance and risk management
- Facility management
- Technology and data systems
- Communications and website best practices
This is not theory; this is hands-on, ministry-focused learning designed for the realities of leading a church today.
