Most clergy graduate from seminary or divinity school with little or no training in financial management or administration to assist them in leading a church congregation. Given these circumstances, it is not shocking when things go awry, and church congregations and pastors face financial challenges.

This week will sketch out a theology of financial management. You will hear an analysis of how scripture encourages a stewardship approach to church financial management. Instead of shying away from engaging with the worldly sphere of money, this lesson will present scriptural references to the importance of church financial administration and financial stewardship. This lesson will help you understand your role in relation to church financial management. Moreover, you will learn how ethical and prudent financial management enables or hinders the church’s ability to serve God’s people in word and deed. The impact of the church’s financial management will be reinforced with real-life examples where financial training, or lack thereof, impacts the ministry of the church.
