Church Finance
Money is often our least favorite topic in churches. We are institutions of the spirit and body. We are here to serve. But in order to serve, we must become a part of the world, and that means being a good steward of your church’s finances.
Why Do I Need a Church Budget?
The funds received by your church are contributions from your loyal members, given with trust that they will contribute to the church and community’s improvement. Having a budget enables you to monitor the flow of every dollar, pinpointing areas for enhanced efficiency and guaranteeing responsible spending. A well-considered budget also guarantees adequate support and funding for each ministry program, preventing any from being neglected.
