WM
BUDGET TIPS
~
by Robyne Beaubien
Budget is a tough area for WM. The size of your church will determine
how much money you will need to get a WM off the ground. Small churches
have the advantage of needing little to no church funding to get
going, where larger churches have the advantage of having more resources
available. Following are some examples of WM budgets. The vary in
size and amount depending on the size of their church.
SAMPLE 1
A lot of the program expenses are food and paper products, books,
etc. The special events are our twice-yearly retreats. Attendees do
have to pay a registration fee, and this fee covers all costs for the
retreats.
