The Tough Issue of Member Contributions


Accounting for the church's money is a tough issue. Most church leaders tend to separate the money issue from spiritual issues like praying and attending church. However, it is important to remember that money is necessary to build up the Kingdom.

Because money is sometimes a sensitive area within the Church, it is important to assure that your members' donations are being accounted for. Church accounting software can help you keep better track of where these donations are going.

You can use church accounting software to give annual or semi-annual statements to your members. Giving these statements increases trust with your members and can lead to further donations. You can also use your church management software to track your expenditures. Most software systems will display this information in a way that will allow you to make better decisions...

Decision making is critical when spending members' contributions!
