2. Making a Budget

What is the procedure Central Christian Church goes through when making a budget?
Joan, our treasurer, said that there is not step by step process to making their church budget every year. I asked if the board got together to make decisions on formatting the budget but she said that the budget is not decided by the board. There is no committee or board meeting for the budget. The budget is set according to the treasurer and what happened from the previous year. Basically, the budget is decided at the beginning of each year and critiqued/altered from the previous year. If someone wants to go over what was set for the church budget, then they will ask for more money via fundraisers or approaching the congregation.

Step by Step Format:

1. Look at their income.

2. Set their budget according to that income.
