Overview

Attendance falls. Giving is down. An unexpected expense comes from nowhere. If your church has experienced financial hard times, you know the many issues to deal with: determining what expenses to say no to, how to raise funds, and how to pay the existing bills.

In these nine articles from Leadership journal, you'll get tools for understanding how to take control of the finances so you're not enveloped by them. You'll get details for developing good financial tools, advice for avoiding unhealthy conflict, and help for handling a budget crunch.

This Training Pack contains all of the following:
