Synopsis

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.Accompanying worksheets and appendixes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

I trust 9Marks resources. I do not always agree. But I trust their perspective. Their writings are rooted in scripture. They view everything through the lens of the gospel. And they hold and promote a high view of the church. All of these things are true, as Jamie Dunlop writes about church budgets......more

Goodreads review by Aaron on November 28, 2019

May I give this a 6th star? Simply the best book I've read on the subject (though I haven't read many). The author answers all my questions, but he teaches me to ask better questions, and then he answers those too!......more
