FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

Honoring God with what he has given us, Journey Bible Church places high regard on being good stewards of financial resources.  Journey follows governmental regulations to the extent they do not violate the Church’s Articles of Incorporation, Constitution and By-Laws, Church Covenant and Confession of Faith, or the biblical principles upon which they are grounded.

Journey utilizes Miller Management Systems, a Kansas City third-party accounting services firm to prepare monthly and annual financial statements and assist in payroll processing. Monthly financial statements are finalized on or around the 20th day of the following month. 

The Finance Committee, comprised of elders, staff, and volunteers assist the Elder Board, Treasurer and Business Administrator in the review and evaluation of the Church’s financial procedures, playing an important role in providing sound financial analysis and oversight of Journey’s resources as it aligns with the church’s mission and vision.

The Finance Committee meets frequently throughout the year providing the Elder Board in-depth analysis of revenue and expenditures, regular reviews of financial operations, proposed budget review and recommendations in advance of Board and congregational approval, review of accounting services, donor management, insurance, contracts, and other financial engagements.
