Financing Vision: Creating a Budget That Empowers Vision

by Gene M Roncone, Caleb McNaughton, Mark Whitney

Building a growing church requires leaders to create a customized budget every year, recognize income and expense patterns, do real-time evaluations, and create financial margin to finance vision and not just reoccurring expenses. Unfortunately, ministerial educators are not teaching these skills and most lead pastors are not mentoring younger ministers in these areas. As a result, the greatest tool to finance vision is shackled by neglect.

In this Charles T. Crabtree School of Ministry resource, Gene Roncone and Caleb McNaughton team up to give you the tools and wisdom to create an annual budget that finances vision and not just expenses. You will learn how to create a budget from scratch, who should be involved in the budget process, how to create financial margin for vision and the steps to building a budget that facilitates opportunities instead of obligations. You will also be given access to an interactive budget template that will help you put everything together in a way that empowers the vision God has given you for your church.
