Every small church needs written financial policies. Not because you distrust your people, but because clear policies protect your people, protect the church, and protect the pastor.
This manual covers every financial policy a small church needs: offering counting (two-person rule), expense reimbursement procedures, check signing authority, budget approval process, annual financial review, and monthly reporting to the board.
Includes ready-to-use policy templates your board can review and adopt at your next meeting. Written specifically for small churches with limited staff and volunteer-led financial teams.
What’s included:
- Offering counting and deposit procedures
- Expense reimbursement policy and form
- Check signing authority guidelines
- Budget development and approval process
- Annual financial review checklist
- Monthly financial reporting template
- Benevolence fund policy
