Texas Baptists Churches Gain Powerful Financial Tools Through WatersEdge Partnership

A partnership recently forged between WatersEdge (formally The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma) and Texas Baptists will mean church pastors and other ministry leaders in Texas can now focus more of their time, energy and resources on advancing the gospel rather than managing their church’s finances. 

Under the partnership with WatersEdge, Texas Baptists will offer financial services powered by WatersEdge to its affiliated Baptist churches across the Lone Star State. 

WatersEdge, a not-for-profit, financial services ministry, provides churches with affordable accounting, payroll, contribution tracking and online giving services designed to meet the needs of ministry. 

“The quality of work, along with their affordability, makes the work of WatersEdge unmatched,” says Dr. Ward Hayes, CFO of Texas Baptists. “We are excited to bring the blessings of this partnership to our churches and meet an area of growing need for so many.” 

Some churches have reported seeing an average annual savings of $5,000 in employee and software costs by switching from their previous accounting system to WatersEdge Ministry Accounting. 

“We are thrilled that Texas Baptists is helping us bring our financial services to the thousands of Baptist churches within their convention. We have already worked with a handful of Baptist churches in Texas [prior to the partnership] and found them all to be very solid churches with exceptional leadership. We look forward to expanding our reach even further in the great state of Texas,” said WatersEdge Vice President Sarah Barham. 

WatersEdge exists to financially empower donors and ministries to transform lives with the gospel. We have helped churches and ministries across the nation save thousands of dollars in accounting and payroll costs, as well as multiply offerings through online giving.
