Trustees are those who care, control and manage your church as a charity – what does that mean?
ACAT’s Trustee Training for Churches course has been designed to equip trustees with the skills they need to meet their legal and moral obligations to manage their churches well.
This is the booking for session one of a two-session course, and we highly recommend that you attend both sessions if at all possible.
This course is designed for all those who are involved in the care, control and management of your church as a charity including PCC members, elders, treasurers etc. Any and all trustees and potential trustees.
Take this course to equip yourself as a trustee so that you can know and meet your legal and moral obligations to manage your church well. Attending as a group of trustees, or potential trustees, can be beneficial as you learn together and apply the learning to your context together.
By the end of this course, you will have been introduced to the legal framework for charities and some general principles about trustees and governance within the church context. You will also have explored the core trustee duties set out in the Charity Commission guidance CC3. You will have had the opportunity to ask questions relevant to your context and about general principles.
To make the most of the course we recommend that you attend both sessions.
The course comprises practical insights and guidance on some of the principles of being a trustee for a church. It is delivered by knowledgeable and experienced trainers who can answer your questions and concerns, ensuring that your church's governance remains confident and exemplary. Don't miss this opportunity to learn the principles of good governance together.
Please note: This is the first of two sessions – please do book both.
The training will be delivered via zoom.
