The Center for the Study of Church Management offers educational programs and conducts research in the areas of leadership and management as they apply to the Catholic Church and its institutions. Its constituents include individuals in church leadership and administrative roles who are seeking to become better stewards of church resources by improving their leadership and management skills.
The Church is not a business, but it does have a stewardship responsibility to use its resources effectively. Frequently that requires the use of sound leadership and management techniques that are not typically taught to clergy and lay leaders in the Church.
