The Financial Health Initiative, a component of the Center for Ministerial Health (CMH) within the NHCLC, exists to encourage and empower pastors to make wise financial decisions. By focusing on their financial health, this initiative aims to increase the longevity and effectiveness of their ministry.

During a recent NHCLC study, where key leaders representing more than 1,600 churches were gathered, we found that:

• 82% of the pastors present stated that they needed a second source of income to supplement their monthly budget.
• Considering their familiarity with their pastoral constituents; i.e., the pastors they oversee, they felt the same percentage was applicable to those within their respective region.
• 73% of the pastors present stated that they had an income of less than $50,000.00 per year.
• 82% of the herders present reported having debts, which often causes them stress over financial issues.
• 60% of the herders present stated that their current financial situation often distracts them from their mission and purpose.

The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) exists to further its mission of reconciling the vertical and horizontal planes of the Christian message; sanctification with service, conviction with compassion, the image of God with the habits of Christ, holiness and humility, John 3:16 and Matthew 25, and the prophetic with the practical. Since 2001, he has achieved exactly that.

Within the horizontal plane of praxis and earthly impact, we strive to promote a whole-life discipleship model that expands its John 10:10 (NASB) perspective of abundance beyond faith, biblical knowledge and religious practices to encompass healthy relationships, wellness, vocation, and financial health and stewardship.

As such, the Mental Health Initiative (MIH), a component of the Center for Ministerial Health (CMH) within the NHCLC, exists to encourage and empower pastors and leaders to live and work from a healthy and balanced state of mind. Our initiative framework, partnerships and resources are geared toward:

1. Understanding Mental Health in the context of Latino leadership.
2. Developing strategies to promote mental health in Latino leadership
3. Build networks of support for the mental health of Latino leaders.
