Читать книгу Removing the Mysteries about Church Finance - Jerry L. Johnson - Страница 4

Organizations, whether a church or a law firm, must manage their operations to produce positive financial results. It can be debated (and often is) that a church is not a business enterprise; it unavoidably must use many of the same tools, techniques, skills and methods that any business would use. Either one cannot operate indefinitely without positive financial results.

A Pastor asked me to look at their accounting processes. That led me to many additional questions. Since the church did not have a business manager, per se, I created that position, which turned into a full-time volunteer position. This was two of the most fulfilling and challenging years of my life.

Successful organizations, a church or a trucking company, large or small, should not flounder in pursuing their mission and fulfilling their purpose. To the many who are floundering, this book is for you. If you are a small church, and you feel you are stuck where you are, this book is for you. Whether you are a business or church and just want to polish your operations, this book is for you.

Floundering will not happen when you are doing the right things right, as you will see in these pages. If you are not sure that your church is doing the right things right, there are steps you need to take now, starting with a season of prayer involving the entire membership.
