School for Leadership Training (Part I) Workshop I Church Budget...Exciting huh? - Need to provide clear and accurate information. - Regular Reporting - individual and congregational. - SPENDING PLAN MUST REFLECT MISSION - Must have checks and balances. - Use of vouchers. Need to be kept up with. - Stewardship on time, talent, treasures, estate, environment, etc. Role Relationships: - Intersecting roles are needed with clear job positions. - Pastor leads the giving/financial culture of the congregation. - Treasurer/Finance Committee must know leadership's view of giving. Notes - Don't share how much money is needed per week as it fluctuates. - As far as designated amount it must offset the budgeted amount - Cannot have a single person receiving a donation. (TAX ISSUE) This was a good class, maybe not something everyone would be excited about, but in the church it is so important now and in the future.
