Episcopal Church Foundation Vestry Papers - for leading congregations

It’s no secret. Parish budgets usually aren’t dynamic or compelling. They’re a series of numbers trapped in straight lines. Context is everything. In the right context, those numbers are the legend to a map: Where did we come from? Where are we going? How far have we come?

Try a new approach to the budget process, using the L.E.A.D.E.R. tool. Invite your congregation to think about the 'why' behind the ministries you engage in and use this information to help build a budget congruent with your parish's mission.
