Managing Budgets; Encouraging Gifts.

In Presbyterian churches, the session is responsible for all aspects of stewardship and mission. This includes ensuring the gifts given are well spent and deciding how and when the financial needs of the church are shared with the congregation. These tools can help your congregation steward the financial gifts they have been given, while encouraging generous giving.
