This week and next week is budget time at Calvary Fellowship. It’s where we lay our goals out in dollar form. I want my staff to dream big, but we also have to lay out the steps to making the dream a reality.

I love this time of year (except for all the paperwork), but it’s an opportunity for realignment in our mission and vision. We only do a few things here (that’s by design), so budget time allows us to reinforce that.

Also, it allows us to put our money where our mouth is (literally), and give resources to the areas we feel called to focus on.

As I’m looking through the budgets for each ministry area, I’m seeing that our staff understands completely where we are going as a church. That’s something to be thankful for…
