Ministry Accounting Services

Ministry accounting is a frequent conversation we have with churches. Churches often need help to manage vital accounting processes with confidence. In 2021, the Foundation partnered with WatersEdge to provide ministry accounting to churches who needed a solution to this problem. WatersEdge is a fee-based service that is dedicated to serving churches nationwide. Currently, there are over fifty different churches who use WatersEdge for accounting services. WatersEdge provides four accounting services:

Contribution Tracking
