Testimonials

What people are saying about us

Our partners say it best! Here are a few kind words from churches we work with.

Quote from Edwin Jones of The Bridge Church, Hampton, VA: “Parable is a blessing to our church. They feel like part of our team. We didn’t get into ministry to balance books, write checks or pay bills, but we know those things have to be done. [...] Parable catches the things we are missing, the details we may miss that could be a big problem.”

Quote from Rob Millier of Florence Baptist Church, Florence, SC: “Parable has an expertise that unless I want to spend hundreds of hours developing, I don’t have. [...] Parable serves as that outside resource that literally in my mind is iron sharpening iron.”

Quote from Jonathan Wiggins of Rez.Church, Loveland, CO: “Parable brought in the best systems. [...] We can make information-based decisions and really tell our financial story. [...] They invest in leaders like me, and they bring world-class services to leaders like me.”
