Budgeting for a Healthy Church
Aligning Finances with Biblical Priorities for Ministry
By Jamie Dunlop, Tim Challies | Publisher: Zondervan
About the book
Many pastors conceive of the church budget as primarily a financial tool, but in fact it is primarily a pastoral tool. A church's philosophy of ministry is locked into its budget, and so the budget will either stifle or accelerate any attempts to move a congregation toward a biblical model of church health. As such, the church budget is a far more potent pastoral tool than many church leaders realize. Budgeting for a Healthy Church examines each section of the budget in light of Biblical principles to show how a church budget can lock in healthy approaches to ministry. Whereas most books on church budgeting are \"how\" books, explaining how the budgeting process should work, this is a \"what\" book, helping church leaders determine the pastoral implications of what they choose to fund in their budgets.
