Budgets form an important part of a church or Christian charity’s framework of financial controls. Budgets do not take away our reliance on God’s provision but they do perform positive functions, including providing the means for a church or charity to prioritise its resources. This template, an extract from a broader financial operating policy, and its associated guidance provide the basis from which churches and charities can construct a budget policy, and can be easily adapted by all organisations to fit their own particular situation.
Topics included:
- Is it sensible for churches and other Christian charities to put in place budget holders to oversee aspects of ministry expenditure?
- What is the best way for churches and charities to construct a budget?
- Budget template and guidance on usage
