The Church Leaders Practicum looks at church financial management and budgeting through the lens of the basics of our life in Christ. While these posts do provide some practical helps, you might be looking for even more detailed resources to help you with church finances like the specifics of accounting, budgets, payroll, taxes, etc.
Use these resources for their administrative procedures and samples of forms and systems, but always remember to filter what you do through the grid of your church’s purpose, body life principles, and the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Always remember to align with God’s heart in these matters, exercising Christ-like qualities in all you do, and depending on God’s power rather than your own efforts or suggestions of others. If the resources don’t take you there, think it through on your own and make adjustments.
