Churches are communities of faith and also nonprofit corporations that have responsibilities to accurately and ethically handle property and finances. "Human Resources" is both a pool of volunteers and an administrative responsibility. These resources are to help congregations fulfill their responsibilities in both accountability and care for the community.
