Services for Parishes

Our team of experts have the depth, breadth, and passion for guiding parish organizations to their full potential.

Financial Management & Oversight

We serve as your CFO providing financial services including budgeting, growth strategies, internal controls, and analysis, as well as day to day functions including AP, AR, payroll, and financial statements.

  • Develop and implement financial strategies that cultivate the vision
  • Oversee daily financial operations
  • Financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting
  • Support to the finance committee
Our finance committee sought understandable financial statements, helpful notes, transparency to the community, and clear communication to the parish council. In one year, Lighthouse has helped us achieve those goals. Our meetings are not only reviewing financial, but looking ahead to increasing stewardship and future challenges.

Healthy Organizations

We believe that the health of an organization and its culture matter!  We provide org assessments, leadership training for executives and mid-level managers and strategic planning to achieve the results.

  • Building effective and healthy leadership teams
  • Understanding the parish’s vision and goals
  • Change management and process improvement
  • Develop and implement operational strategies that cultivate the vision
Being a small rural parish, we were struggling to find and afford competent staff to both serve the parish’s needs as well as provide the appropriate checks and balances. LSS has been an indispensable asset to growing our parish and mission. Their team has collective knowledge that is helpful and unparalleled in an individual. It has truly been a joy to have them onboard!
