Financial Ministry Principles For Today's Challenging Culture, That Can Reduce Financial Risks

1. The ideal financial budget anchors that can build a growing ministry which is sustainable over time.  Developing a balanced financial plan is critical with these in mind.

• Ministry programs 30%
• Salaries                 30% or less
• Debt service          30% or less
• Daily operations    10%

2.  A ministry missing financial balance functions much like a vehicle with a flat tire. A ministry missing financial balance will find it difficult to sustain its mission principles over time unless its flat is fixed. Flat tires develop very naturally as a ministry find it necessary to pull funds from one key area to maintain the growing demands of another.
