Let’s face the truth...too many churches are plagued with financial challenges that include general business mismanagement, cash flow problems, and tax issues. Many assume that because they are incorporated and have a 501(c)(3) tax status that all is well. “We’re Protected,” many churches mistakenly think.

A great number of the church members are also struggling financially or simply can’t make ends meet, and the pastor and church administrators are well aware of the congregational financial woes. Lack of money makes it hard for congregants to tithe and participate in various ministries, and slows down the move of God in fulfilling the Great Commission.

But what’s not well known and/or not well understood by most administrators and pastors alike is how to gain the insights to create a new financial dynamic and vision for their church or ministry, and how to protect themselves and the church by uncovering the five areas that affect the financial health and wellness of the church.

With church administrators being the loyal servants they are, they don’t what to make waves and challenge the pastor to do what is needed to fix their personal and church financial, business, and tax obstacles. Many times the church staff is unaware of methods to properly navigate specific situations, which can prove costly if the church or ministry continues to operate blindly or in ignorance.
