You weren't called to ministry
to manage the back office.
ICNU handles the operational work that steals your time and focus so you can lead the church you serve.
Responsive. Relational. Reliable.
You answered a call to shepherd.
You did not step into ministry to wrestle with payroll, giving reports, and last-minute financial packets for elder meetings. That is where we come in.
- See giving and spending clearly so your leaders can make wise, confident decisions
- Stay ready for audits, reviews, and compliance deadlines without the scramble
- Free up hours each week for prayer, teaching, and pastoral care
- Walk into elder meetings prepared with numbers that tell a clear story
What to expect
"When you reach out, you hear back. Not a ticket. Not silence. A person who knows your situation and has an answer."
That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
How It Works
Start where you are.
There is no lengthy onboarding, no complicated contract, and no pressure to commit to more than you need. Here is what the process looks like.
Complete the intake form
Tell us about your church, your team, and your biggest financial headaches. The intake form takes about five minutes and helps us confirm the right tier and pricing before anything is finalized.
We confirm the fit
We review your intake, confirm your pricing based on the formula, and schedule a brief call to make sure expectations are clear on both sides. No surprises.
We get to work
Most clients are fully onboarded within two to three weeks. From there, we stay close, stay responsive, and handle the back office so you can handle the ministry.
Three Ways to Work Together

I grew up as a PK. I have been in church since nine months before I was born.
My father and my brother are both pastors. I went to seminary, so I know a lot of pastors. And even today, many of my close friends are pastors. I have sat in more elder meetings, budget conversations, and hard pastoral moments than most people outside of ministry ever see.
I also spent 47 months in federal prison. During that time, pastors and church folks showed up for me and my family in ways I could not have anticipated and will never forget. God used that season to reshape everything about me, including how I understand what it means to serve the church. That experience led me, and my wife Pam, to start Qavah Ministries. And to start ICNU. And to write Thrive. And it is part of why I continue to do this work today.
I am not a pastor, at least not vocationally. But I understand the weight of the role in a way that most financial consultants do not. I know what it costs to carry a congregation. I know how lonely and isolated pastors can feel. I know what it looks like to juggle sermons, staff, spreadsheets, and soul care all in the same week. And I know what it feels like when the back office is quietly draining whatever energy reserves you might have had.
That is what ICNU exists to address. Not just a system or a pitch, but someone who genuinely gets it, stays in the background, and helps do the work. Sometimes that means cleaning up the books. Sometimes it means sorting out roles, hiring, governance, or a hard conversation. Sometimes it just means a call with someone who gets it.
If you are carrying more than you should be, it would be my privilege to help you shoulder it.
