The most wonderful time of the year brings an inevitable dose of stress for church leaders – budget season. As you look ahead to next year’s spending, consider investing in a few areas that could really make an impact.
For your kids ministry, create a fun and safe environment with check-in stations, quality curriculum, play equipment, and foam floor tiles. Give guests stellar first impressions with parking signs, coffee, umbrellas, and exceptional customer service. Upgrade your worship experience affordably with a quality soundboard, mics, projector, and camera. Support your student pastors with solid resources like Grow Curriculum, Sustainable Youth Ministry, and DownloadYouthMinistry.com. Streamline office tasks with Planning Center, Apple products, a fast laser printer, and Vistaprint for printing needs.
While budgets are tight, a few strategic purchases in these vital ministries can go a long way. As you make plans, keep your eyes on the vision and mission, investing in items that will further Kingdom goals. The most worthwhile investments are always in your people – the congregation you shepherd and serve. With wisdom and discernment, you can find ways to steward your finances and resources for maximum ministry impact in the year ahead.
