Retirement Webinar
Retirement.
For pastors it's a word that either strikes panic in the heart or a vague sense of something so far away on the horizon that there's no reason to think about it right now.
John Baker is an experienced and successful servant who can help men and women of all ages begin to think and plan for the inevitable time when retirement becomes a reality.
Think you're too young to be concerned? Think again. This hour-long webinar will be both informative and practical.
To register for this free, interactive event, just email kellert@cmawpa.org.
John Baker is an elder at East Lake Road Alliance Church in Erie, PA. He is the founder of Kingdom Financial Group, Inc. (KFG), established in 1999, and Kingdom Tax Services (KTS), launched in 2013. In 2022, he expanded his vision by founding the Kingdom Financial Foundation (KFF), an organization dedicated to promoting financial education and supporting like-minded ministries and nonprofits. Each year, Kingdom Tax Services prepares tax returns for approximately 100 members of the clergy and provides bookkeeping services to numerous churches—often serving as a “virtual treasurer.” John brings extensive expertise in clergy taxation and compliance, and under his leadership, the firm hosts an annual Clergy Tax Seminar that has been attended by hundreds of pastors across the region.
