A Budgeting for a Healthy Church

<p>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. <em>Budgeting for a Healthy Church</em> 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.</p>
