Church and Money: Why Should I Trust the Church?

"Doesn't the church have enough money?" "There are plenty of other members that will give to help keep the lights on. Why do I have to give?" "What do they even do with all of that money? It's probably to pay for the pastors house." If you have been in the church long, then you've probably heard a few quotes like these. Many are skeptical about giving to the church and they have good reason to be. Any place where money changes hands provides the opportunity for fraud or malpractice. What is the church's history with money? What should I look for in my local church and how they deal with finances? How can I talk to my pastors about financial concerns? Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they lay out the case for a healthy model of church finances that you can trust.
