Financial
The finances of the church, whether they are the finances of a congregation, synod or the churchwide organization, are an important and necessary function of its mission. Through responsibly organized and managed financial resources, we are able to support and carry on the work of the church as we serve and love our neighbor, and do God’s work of restoring and reconciling communities in Jesus Christ’s name throughout the world.
