Church Money: Where does the money go?

Join Pastor Luke and Pastor Cameron in this episode of the Uncut Podcast as we discuss the financial dynamics of churches. We explore the perception of churches as businesses, dissecting budget allocations for personnel, facilities, missions, and programs. Emphasizing the importance of transparency and understanding cultural influences on financial choices, we invite listeners to engage in the conversation on church finances.
