Church & Employee Benefit Services

Events

The Church and Employee Benefit Services Office serves churches and church staff primarily by educating and assisting churches to better understand the unique financial challenges of churches and ministers. The office provides educational opportunities and assistance in the areas of retirement planning, medical insurance, compensation survey, tax-related issues, and internal financial controls.

Each year, Oklahoma Baptists offers seminars on tax issues, internal controls, and legal issues for churches.

The seminars are designed specifically for churches and they are conducted in Oklahoma City, Tulsa area, Lawton, and southeast Oklahoma each year. Materials used at the seminar are available throughout the year from the Church & Employee Benefit Services Office.
