The Treasury Department provides comprehensive financial and risk management services to the employees, churches, and institutions within the Michigan Conference. In addition to overseeing all financial operations, our department manages payroll and employee benefits, maintains accurate financial records, and ensures efficient account management. Our goal is to faithfully steward the financial resources entrusted to us—God’s sacred tithes and the generous offerings of our members—by ensuring they are used wisely, responsibly, and in full alignment with the mission and values of the Michigan Conference.
