Effective budgeting is not the result of the stressful days and nights of budget preparation, or the reams of financial spreadsheets produced, or even the many hard choices required to finalize a budget.
The most effective leaders have always created teams to work with and lead with them.

Our own ministries could be more rewarding if we intentionally structured better teams in all areas of church life.
