Handling Money

Our Financial Practices and Policies

We truly desire that money given to the church be done so freely, cheerfully, and out of genuine appreciation to God. The financial well-being of each person attending the church is more important than the financial well-being of the church itself.
All members will be encouraged to give of their income both regularly and proportionately. Tithing is encouraged as a biblical principle giving us guidance as to what the proportion of our giving should be. Some members will excel in generosity and ability to give beyond their tithe.
As a general rule, we will not use Sunday morning to share financial needs or request funds. We will annually teach on giving, conduct a fund drive for local church needs or needs in the community, and conduct an international fund drive for missions.
We will do our best to help with genuine financial needs within the church. Notify one of the pastors of your need or another’s need. Where there is repeated financial need, financial accountability and counseling may be required.
The Sunday collection is counted that morning by two designated men. The ministries and vision we have as a church are supported by the tithes and offerings of our members.
All expenses have receipts and are paid by check.
All checks must be co-signed by two men. The check signers are the pastors and our treasurer.
Prairie Ridge Community Church never has, nor plans to spend more than we have. All church plans, projects, and monthly routine expenses are contingent upon available funds.
All financial decisions are made by the local pastors and the church treasurer, working together. Advice is also obtained from other members of our church in the different areas of church ministry.
We closely maintain in our account, a minimum savings pad representing two month’s church expenses. We are working toward a savings pad representing six months of expenses.
All financial records are maintained by the church treasurer. We keep a complete record of all disbursements and expenses.

For further information, contact Phil Roush, church treasurer.
