The Church Budget™ Workshop
A 90-minute workshop on how to build a budget that fuels church growth.
Walk away with next year's budget mapped, with real target percentages for staffing, facilities, ministry, and missions.
Thursday, September 24th at 11am CT
Does your budget reflect your expenses more than your mission?
The numbers may be balanced, but they don’t always show what your church says matters most or where you believe God is leading next.
You keep rolling last year’s budget into the next year.
Instead of rethinking what is actually working, old expenses stay in place and keep consuming resources that could be redirected toward growth and ministry.
You want to invest in growth, but there never seems to be enough margin.
By the time everything else is funded, the opportunities that could move the church forward are the first things to get delayed or cut.
You Don’t Have to Be a Spreadsheet Person
As a pastor, you’re carrying a lot.
Staffing. Payroll. Facilities. Maintenance. Ministry expenses. Unexpected repairs. Growing needs. New opportunities.
And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you’re trying to make sure the church is actually moving toward the vision God has given you.
It’s easy for the budget to get sidetracked.
Expenses creep up. Old line items stay in place. The urgent starts crowding out the important.
And before long, the budget is doing a great job maintaining what already exists, but not creating much room for where you believe God is leading next.
There’s hope.
You don’t have to be a financial expert, and you don’t have to have everything perfectly dialed in before you start.
Your bookkeeper can help with the spreadsheets.
Your finance team can help with the numbers.
But as the pastor, there’s something only you can bring:
The Vision and the Mission.
Your financial team can tell you where the money went.
You get to help determine where it should go next.
During this 90-minute live workshop, we’ll walk you through a clear, step-by-step process to build a budget that supports the vision, funds the mission, and helps position your church for growth.
Here's what we'll cover:
Build a Mission-First Budget
Learn how to stop giving the mission whatever is left over and start building your budget around growth, ministry, outreach, and global impact.
Know What Percentage Should Go Where
Get clarity on how much of your budget should go toward personnel, facilities, ministry, missions, and savings so you have real targets to work toward.
See Exactly Where Your Current Budget Is Off
Shift Your Budget Without Blowing Everything Up
Learn how to make realistic adjustments over time, including how to use zero-based budgeting to evaluate what should stay, change, or go.
Build a Month-by-Month Cash Flow Plan
Stop treating every month like it’s the same and learn how to plan around the natural highs and lows of church giving and expenses throughout the year.
Get Your Treasurer and Board on the Same Page
Learn how to have the right conversations before the budget meeting so your financial team understands the mission, the numbers, and the plan before it ever goes up for approval.
