My Role - Finance Director / Treasurer

Story:

As a treasurer, I need tools that forecast giving trends and connect them to community quality-of-life indicators so I can plan responsibly and ensure long-term financial stability.

Guidance Criteria:

• Giving forecasts are tied to external factors such as housing stability, employment, or neighborhood stressors.

• Early-warning alerts show how changes in community well-being may affect congregational giving.

• Reports integrate financial trends with actionable insights for leadership about risk and resilience.

Kingdom and Institutional Value:

• Protects the ministry from external shocks by anticipating how community struggles affect congregational resources.

• Ensures that financial stewardship is informed by both faith and data, honoring the realities members face.

• Builds long-term sustainability so the church can continue serving regardless of economic shifts.
