Use our Budget Planning Worksheet to see where your finances are now

While many of us have a calling to serve the Lord, not all pastors feel the same enthusiasm when it comes to providing financial stewardship for a busy ministry. As pastors, we understand how overwhelming it can be to bring your vision for growth into reality.

We have the tools and know-how to help. With more than 60 years walking alongside ministers like you, we've come up with tools that can simplify those initial planning steps, enabling you to set and reach your goals more quickly.

As we have analyzed many budgets over the 60 year history of CEP, we have found that church budgets tend to allocate finances between the following 3 key areas: 30% for administration, 30% for facility expenses, and 30% for ministry expenses (which leaves a 10% variable that churches use to make adjustments in those 3 key categories).  These 30-30-30 percentages are used only as a guide.

Using our no-obligation, online Budget Planning Worksheet, you will see where your ministry's finances stand today, what opportunities exist, and what you'll need to confidently lead your ministry's growth into the future.
