For many churches, debt is a double-edged sword. When used strategically, it can be a catalyst for expanding ministries, reaching more people, and bringing bold visions to life. But if mishandled, debt can create stress, burden future leaders, and distract from the mission to money.
So how do church leaders discern when debt is a tool for growth and when it’s a risk to avoid? Our new eBook, “Church Debt: Striking a Balance Between Risk & Reward,” dives into this critical question, offering clarity and confidence for those facing major financial decisions.
Here’s what you’ll discover inside:
- How debt can accelerate your ministry and expand your church’s impact in the community
- The hidden dangers of debt, including financial pressures, reduced ministry flexibility, and even potential division within your congregation
- Why the order of your actions matters: “Campaign first, borrow second” is a key principle
- Practical guidance for balancing faith with wise financial stewardship
Whether your church is considering a new building, a renovation, or a land purchase, this guide will help you discern the path forward: one that advances your mission and demonstrates faithful stewardship of God’s resources.
Wisdom from scripture:
God’s word encourages both faith (“And without faith it is impossible to please God.” – Hebrews 11:6a) and wisdom (“The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” – Proverbs 22:7). The challenge is to find the right balance for your unique situation.
Our eBook is here to help you do just that.
Pro tip:
The best time to raise money to reduce debt is before it becomes a burden. Act now, so your church is prepared for whatever the future holds.
