Budgeting for a Healthy Church

Does your budget support or hinder healthy ministry? A church budget can accelerate -- or stifle -- a congregation's movement toward a biblical model of church health. Author Jamie Dunlop examines each section of the church budget in light of biblical principles and explains how the budget should function, showing that where and why dollars are allocated has direct implications for ministry. Budgeting for a Healthy Church takes readers past the status quo -- with its fixation on growth and numbers -- to show church leaders how to transition from program-focused, consumer-oriented ministry to a simpler, Scripture-based, relationship-focused model of ministry. - Back cover.
