Have you ever thought that your church could be sabotaging the financial success of your people? You might even ask, ‘How is that even possible?’ 

Churches serve not only as a spiritual haven but as pillars of support for their people and their everyday struggles. You might have a grief ministry, a divorce ministry, and other ministries to tend to your congregation’s needs. However, do you have a personal finance ministry? With one you can encourage your people to work towards financial stability, generosity, and faithfully implement biblical stewardship principles. 

Without a personal finance ministry, your church may be inadvertently sabotaging the financial success of your people:

1. Lack of Financial Education & Guidance

With a lack of helpful resources and practical next steps, your congregation may struggle to develop sound financial habits. This lack of guidance can leave your members vulnerable to financial pitfalls and potentially hinder their ability to achieve long-term financial stability.

2. Talking About Money…in Unhealthy Ways

Does your church talk about money intentionally, biblically, and carefully? If you only speak about money when there is an urgent need, you’re missing an opportunity. Speak on biblical stewardship frequently and consistently to positively impact the lives of your people. 

3. Failing to Integrate Faith & Financial Teaching 

Your church may emphasize the importance of faith in various aspects of life, but do you also mention money? Often there’s a disconnect in the church with integrating faith with financial values and decision-making. Communicate the importance of a stewardship lifestyle with your congregation. 

Your ministry plays a vital role in the lives of your people, and whether intentionally or unintentionally the practices mentioned above could hinder the financial success of your congregation. 

Recognize and address these challenges proactively. Begin fostering an environment where individuals feel equipped to manage their finances and understand the biblical importance of a stewardship lifestyle.
