What happens when a church's key financial leader suddenly steps away?

While pastoral succession often gets the most attention, churches also depend on trusted financial leaders to oversee budgets, payroll, benefits, and operations that keep ministry moving forward. Without a plan in place, an unexpected vacancy can create significant disruption.

Succession planning for church financial leaders isn't about anticipating failure—it's about faithful stewardship and ensuring the church remains strong and mission-focused for years to come.

MMBB understands the unique financial pressures of clergy and church staff. Our financial planners are not driven by commissions and do not sell products. This service is available to all our members at no additional cost as a benefit of membership.

Each MMBB Financial Planning Specialist has at least three designations, including the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification.

Did you know that in 2025 MMBB’s team of six financial planners:
• Received good or excellent feedback on 100% of member surveys about financial planning specialist interaction
• Provided one-on-one financial guidance to 1,790 members

One member declared, “My MMBB financial planner has been a lifeline over the last several years. My husband and I are grateful for their expertise and patience. They clearly explain complex topics and respond promptly to questions. It is a pleasure to work with them.”

“Let us search out and examine our ways and turn back to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven.” – Lamentations 3:40 (NKJV)

Written in a time of deep grief in ancient Israel, this scripture reminds us that even in devastation, there is an invitation—to reflect, repent if we have strayed, and build our relationship with God.

When life disrupts our path, God calls us not only to lament, but to turn to Christ— and seek divine renewal and restoration.

Today is National 529 Day, which promotes 529 savings plans and encourages parents to save for education. A 529 plan allows families to put money aside for education expenses while taking advantage of valuable tax benefits. Speak to your financial planner about whether this type of plan is right for you.

Whether you use a 529 plan or another savings vehicle, keep in mind some savings guidelines.
• Start saving for educational expenses early, particularly college.
• Set clear savings goals.
• Set up automatic contributions on a regular basis from your paycheck or recurring bank transfers, whether it is $100 a month or $500 a month.
• Be mindful of the risk – the younger the child, the more you may want to consider more aggressive investments, but you may want to move out of those higher-risk investments and into lower-risk ones as the date when you will need to use the money inches closer.

MMBB Celebrates New Ministry Headquarters at Interchurch Center

MMBB officially relocated to new office space on the 15th floor of the Interchurch Center, beginning a new chapter after more than six decades on the 16th and 17th floor. The new space brings New York staff together on one floor, fostering greater staff collaboration in a shared, contemporary, light-filled workspace. Designed not only to support collaboration, but also hospitality and the organization’s evolving needs, the new location reflects MMBB’s commitment to serving its members and ministry partners well into the future.

To mark the occasion, MMBB held a Service of Dedication and Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on May 5, 2026, with attendees joining both in person and via livestream. Among those present were members of the Board of Managers, ABCUSA General Secretary Rev. Dr. Gina Jacobs-Strain, and MMBB staff. See a clip of the ribbon cutting here: https://vimeo.com/1195388149?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 (NRSV)

When worry begins to weigh on us, this scripture gently redirects our hearts. We don’t have to carry the burden alone. Through prayer, gratitude, and trust, we can release our anxieties to God—and receive a peace that goes beyond what we can understand. Even in uncertainty, God’s serenity will guard our hearts and minds.

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” – John 16: 13-15

In honor of Pentecost this Sunday, we share a verse from John 16, where Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit to provide his disciples with divine guidance and revelation. The Holy Spirit does not act independently. This passage emphasizes the unity of the Trinity, as the Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus by conveying his teachings. It underscores how Jesus is central to God’s plan and the Spirit’s role in illuminating his truth to believers.
