In 1983 Joe was invited to take a full-time teaching position at Zion Bible Institute located in East Providence, RI. He became the pastor of Calvary Worship Center, now located in Holden, MA, in 1985. Joe continued to teach part-time at Zion as the school transitioned to a four-year college and graduate school now known as Northpoint Bible College and Graduate School located in Haverhill, MA. Joe continues to teach in the graduate school as an adjunct professor.

CHURCH PLANTING RESOURCE

Build a Budget With What You Know

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.

Start with a plan

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.
