| Has your church ever considered a merger? In 2019, our sister website, CTPastors, published “The New Math of Church Mergers,” which examined the continued emergence of multisite churches nationwide and the growing trend of mergers between churches. Fast-forward two years and interest in mergers has only grown, according to attorney Erika E. Cole. And the COVID-19 pandemic has only solidified this trend—if not expanded it, she says. To help church leaders evaluate if a merger is right for them, there are a few new and upcoming resources on ChurchAndTax.com: New member-only article series offering practical guidance on church mergers. Downloadable PDF checklist included in the articles that cover the essential tasks addressed in the series. Advantage Member exclusive webinar featuring Erika Cole on Tuesday, May 11.
