CDN Today!

Most churches today are probably already using some church management software – especially for their financial transactions. However, due to the cost of purchasing such software, some smaller churches may not.

Prior to my retirement, I pastored some small churches that did not have commercial software. So, I created some Excel spreadsheets to accomplish the more important functions. If you are in a similar situation, you may download my files and edit them to use with your church.

• Budget.xls – a simple checklist of routine payments, so nothing is forgotten.
• Bulletin.dot – a Word template to print a weekly church bulletin
• Minutes.dot – an agenda/minutes outline
• MonthReport.xlt – a pretty complex spreadsheet to present a FULL monthly report of finance and attendance.
• Outline.dot – my template for sermon or study outlines
• Voucher.dot – a form to define the purposes of all non-check expenditures and assure proper reimbursement
• WeeklyFinance.xlt – A working spreadsheet to tally the weekly revenues & create the deposit slip for the bank.
• WeeklyReport.xls – basically the same as WeeklyFinance.xlt except this one is just to print and allow a NON-computer literate treasurer to just enter the data on a PAPER copy for someone else to enter into the computer.

If you like and use these forms, please add a comment below. If you make considerable changes, consider offering the changes for others to use also.
