Finance for Ministry Leaders

Read the statements. Build the budget. Steward the resources.

About this subject

Students learn budgeting, cash flow management, reading financial statements, financial governance, funding models for churches and nonprofits, generosity culture, building toward mortgage neutrality, and the basics of personal financial health for ministry leaders.
