Honest, sound and open finance give integrity to all of the programs of the congregation. It enables members of the congregation to see how their gifts to the church have been spent and it highlights the financial priorities of the congregation for all of us to see. When financial matters are other than honest, sound and open, the mission of the congregation is undermined.

1. Communicate the mission of the finance committee to the congregation

2. Continue open reporting process

3. Help other committees use budgeting process
