Need help with preparation of clergy or church tax returns? The United Methodist Foundation of Louisiana is once again hosting tax seminars for clergy and church staff or laity participating in the financial management of the church.

Rev. Nate Berneking is the presenter for both sessions of the seminars. He is Director of Finance and Administrative Ministries for the Missouri Annual Conference. He attended seminary at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology a few years after his work as an attorney in corporate law. He served as pastor in St. Louis and Chesterfield, Mo., before joining the staff of the Missouri Annual Conference. Berneking is currently writing a book on clergy finance slated to be published this year.
