This document provides guidance on developing a church budget in 4 steps: 1) Seek spiritual direction through prayer and defining the church's mission and priorities. 2) Consult with church leaders to develop budget proposals. 3) Build congregational acceptance by presenting the budget plan to members. 4) Encourage personal commitment to the budget by interpreting biblical principles of giving. The overall goal is to adopt a budget that aligns with the church's mission and gains support from members.
