Church Budget
Blueprint
THE
#1 Church Budgeting Course for Small and Growing Churches
for Small and Growing Churches
After serving in ministry for several years in a supportive role as a youth pastor, I stepped into the lead pastor role and soon discovered that I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to a whole church budget. I searched and searched the internet for information about how to create a budget and be wise about making decisions. To be honest, there are only a few resources out there that give good points.
Simplify Church has created a platform where pastors can learn how to think through a budget, especially when they have a budget that they inherited. This platform does an exceptional job of explaining common myths and how to approach spending and budgeting. This is a great resource to create your first budget or revamp an existing one!
The Six-Step Simplify Process will help you identify what you need to change and how to optimize your church finances for the future.
