About us
Over the years, the church and its leadership have been discredited for lack of good governance and accountability in its operations. Church Administrators Society of Nigeria (CASON) is a body established to bridge the knowledge gap that exists between church managers and their counterpart in the corporate world
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT: 90% of Pastors said their seminary or Bible college training only did addressed the theological part of the job preparing them for ministry. For the same reason above, 80% of seminary and Bible school graduates who get into the ministry get stocked or leaves within the first five years. 50% of Pastors are so discouraged that they would have opted out of ministry if they could, but have no other means of making a living.
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT: 70% of Pastors constantly fight depression for the frustration experienced as a result of ministry work load. 80% of Pastors silently feel unqualified and discouraged in their role as Pastors.
