For Treasurers

  • 2024 Treasurers Handbook. The Treasurers Handbook is prepared to help local church treasurers efficiently and accurately fulfill their responsibilities. The handbook also contains guidelines to help Search Committees and Boards of Deacons establish fair compensation packages for their pastor.
  • Treasurers Newsletters – Changes for 2024 and 2025
  • Canada Life Administration Guide
  • Canadian Centre for Christian Charities. Treasurers may find it helpful to access resources available on the website for the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities. If your church is not a member you will be able to learn more about the benefits of becoming an affiliated member.
  • Confidential Information Sheet. This form must be sent into the Benefits Coordinator as soon as there is a change in salary. Canada Life requires the Total Salary figure to calculate the Long Term Disability premium. Once the form is received and calculated by Canada Life the adjustment in premium will be billed back to the church. If a member has to go on Long Term Disability, they will receive 67% of the last reported salary.
  • New Employee: When a new employee meets the eligibility requirements for the Pension and Benefits Plan, complete the enrollment forms (PDF) and return to the Benefits Coordinator within 30 days of eligibility.
  • Monthly Remittance Form (PDF); Monthly Remittance Form (Fillable PDF). This form is used for contributions to the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada and our shared ministry (formerly called “United in Mission”) and for supplemental contributions to the following:
