Villanova Certificate in Church Management – Webinar Descriptions
Villanova offers a series of 12 – 90-minute web seminars that offer participants the most current Church management practices designed uniquely for faith-based organizations.
Church Management in Mission Driven Churches
This webinar will introduce and explore the five components of church management, which will serve as the framework for your Certificate program. It will offer practical strategies to influence and shape the culture of your organization for mission and benchmarks to consider when evaluating the effectiveness of your church in fulfilling its mission.
Leading Councils and Teams
A great way to involve others in the ministry and leadership of our churches is through councils and teams, but for many the experience of teams and councils can be frustrating and full of dysfunction. Learn how to re-think and re-structure so your teams are life-giving to members and make a difference in the life of your community.

Virtual Presence and Communications
The digital continent is the newest frontier for evangelization. What does your virtual presence and message communicate about your church? How do different generations view it? This webinar will cover strategies to leverage social media and your website to advance the mission of your church as well as cautioning about the possible pitfalls of these communication vehicles.
Spirituality of Administration
This webinar will explore the biblical roots of administration as well as draw on lessons from church teaching and tradition. It will help those in administrative roles maintain the critical connection with the mission of Jesus and reinforce the important role of administration, not as a necessary evil, but as an integral part of ministry.
Human Resources and People Management
The Human Resources and People Management webinar will cover the basics of HR, look at the elements of healthy pastoral human resource principles and will be a resource for those in leadership in church organizations. Human Resources is at its core the process by which we work with people at all levels of an organization for the purpose of accomplishing the mission of that entity.
Budgeting and Allocating Resources
The budget is the tool that connects parish priorities to financial resources. The alignment between parish mission, vision, pastoral priorities and budgeting are integrally linked. Effective parish budgeting not only enables you to plan, allocate, and manage resources effectively, it will empower you with information and insights to help inform decision-making. This webinar covers the budgeting process at the church level. The primary focus is on operational budgeting. Budgeting for capital projects will be discussed to a lesser extent.
Leadership Development
The purpose of this webinar is to describe a conceptual framework that can assist leaders in understanding the leadership situations they face and the leadership tools at their disposal. A number of different leadership styles will be discussed, as well as the process to cultivate and develop leaders within your church and organization.
Church Security & Facilities Management
This is a church-specific security, loss prevention, risk management, and threat management program for people who share the common goal of keeping staff, congregations, property, church funds, and other congregational assets safe and secure while providing a “welcoming” community for people to worship. Discussions on current hate crimes, terrorism, and violent intruder threats to faith-based organizations will be reviewed and relevant and current topical areas such as fire protection, emergency preparedness, and facility management will be examined.
Taking the Pulse of Your People
Many church leaders view communications as a one-way street – what we need to tell our people - and do not always know effective ways to listen to and get feedback from the congregation. This webinar will cover fundamentals of assessing church effectiveness and some cost-effective tools you can use today to get the pulse on your people and respond with even more effective ministry and service.
Strategic Pastoral Planning
The webcast will provide participants with a basic framework and tools for effective pastoral planning. Several practical models will be presented that can be easily adapted and utilized by faith communities to create short-term and long-term pastoral plans.
