For Law or Money Tips on collecting pledges, withholding taxes, funding emergencies, and more by Richard Shaw Yesterday, during morning services, the building got very cold. I went to the basement and discovered the boiler was leaking all over the place.
Churches run into all kinds of financial emergencies.
It could be a boiler gone bad, a shortfall of funds due to a pledge drive that delivered more promises than money, or even a dishonest person who ran off with church money. Such money issues often require crucial decision making. If these issues are not addressed properly or the wrong decisions are made, they could cost the church additional money. The bad thing is that often church leaders can't always foresee problems that may occur. The good thing is that there are people who can help us through these problems and decisions.
