Financial Managment

Budgeting is the allocation of the church‘s resources, in accordance with a plan, for the achievement of its objectives and goals. The church budget is one of the most effective tools available for the proper stewardship of the church‘s assets.
The bookkeeping and accounting system, along with the related internal controls and procedures, the budgeting process, the financial audit, and the management oversight provided by the Vestry should be viewed as a single system. No part stands alone; each supports the other. This entire system enables the Vestry to fulfill its obligation of fiduciary responsibility and proper stewardship.
