Small Christian Ministries (02)

        Let's suppose that $400,000 of your annual $500,000 was  “General Purpose”  or it was money under budget control and the "Board of Leadership" decides how to spent it.   The remaining $100,000 is money that flowed during the year for a  “Special Purposes”  --- or the "Board of Leadership" has approved the use of this money for Restricted (by Donors) or Designated (by the Board of Leadership) purposes  --  see "SetASides"  for information about how money comes from “General Purpose  as it is designated for a particular “Special Purpose  effort. 

      Many Ministries struggle in having enough "General Purpose"  money.  So a system is needed that keeps you informed, at least weekly, as to whether or not you have money to spend on "Board of Leadership" prioritized "General Purpose"  expenses  (Click Here and learn more about such a system).  It further assures everyone concerned that the "General Purpose" does NOT inappropriately spend money that belongs to the "Special Purposes."   Please   Click Here   and learn about a Christian Ministry "Big Pix" report where a condensed recap of all activity appears on one page.

      Please access below the type of SmallMins "Where are we now"   CHARTS  (Remember, Charts provide "Where are we now" and "Where have we been" information) that meet a vital need so your Ministry leaders can make wise spending decisions.

Christian Family Units (03)

     We define a  "Christian Family Unit"  (CFU)  as a single Unmarried Christian Man/Woman or a Husband/Wife with or without Kids. Your fiscal system MUST weekly keep you informed as to whether or not you have money to spend during the upcoming week within your chosen life style.  It is imperative that you:

01>  Agree to spend only earned money - you do not borrow for living expenses.
02>  Know weekly if you have such money to spend for the following week..
03>  Pay off your current Credit Card balance at least monthly (some do it weekly)
04>  Live up to your money promises to the Lord and to yourself.

        Please go to  Crown Ministry  who is making available the wonderful product known as  Mvelopes  as Crown's Coaches help  CFUs  reach their money goals and control their spending. It is our intent that this  RIGHTEOUS SPENDING CONTROLS system will provide  CFUs  with tools that go even beyond what Mvelopes provides.  Please Click Here for comparison of features of Mvelopes and this Righteous Spending Control system.
        Please  note the sample "Where are we now" and "Where have we been" Financial Report samples below -- from which CFUs make spending decisions.  Reminder --- "Box"  means the same as "Spending Area or Category",
