Financial Business of Ministry,

[DR.Marietta Brown]

How many of us in Ministry rather the Ministry is large or small have Accountants, Lawyers and prepare for the Business or Financial portion of the Ministry, even when we are small or before we began Ministry, Do we just focus on the spiritual aspect of Ministry and if so why,.besides the money factor.?.., PLease comment.

[DR.Marietta Brown]

A subject we should truly discuss more. As an Accountant I can state that.

[DR.Marietta Brown]

This is a topic we should respond to .This is an area in lots of Ministry that is neglected and not operated properly. Lets share and discuss, even the pitfalls that we may assist and hep others.

I totally agree Prophetess Newton. Great Point.

[T.L. Hawkins]

I find that a lot of churches don't "handle" the financial aspects of the ministry well. Usually it's "offering to offering" ....so to speak. As some people live paycheck to paycheck. No Lawyers, No Accountants, No Bookkeepers, just the Deacons/Trustees/Secretary. Some don't even have a bank account.

I agree Rev. Luckett. If a church truly has a vision, the financial responsibility should be in order..i.e. Financial Software, bank account etc.
Be Blessed.

Rev Luckett, your comments are so correct. God to hear from you Man Of God.
