Bryan’s heart is to connect people with God’s design and purpose for their life. For Bryan, it begins with connection to his Lord. It is closely followed by his connection to his wife, Rachel, six children (some with spouses), and twelve grandchildren. His connection continues as pastor of The Fireplace Christian Fellowship. Bryan also connects to people as a musician, business owner, teacher, and facilitator. He has been blessed to travel throughout the US and bring Kingdom principles into the marketplace. Bryan is a pastor, musician, and dreamer.

A first-year church planting budget comes with plenty of unknowns. Start with what you know, estimate what you don’t, and build a financial plan you can refine as the church grows.
A clear budget helps you anticipate expenses, recognize potential challenges, and make better financial decisions before they become urgent. Tracking income and expenses throughout your first year also gives you real numbers to work from when planning the next.
If administration isn’t your strength, involve someone who is gifted in it. The church planter doesn’t have to build the budget alone, but every church plant should have one.
