KleerCard The #1 expense management solution for nonprofits: credit cards, expense management, bill pay, reimbursements, and sales tax reporting all in one place.

Joe Ghobrial at Park Street Church makes the case that admin work doesn't just support the ministry. It enables it.

The budget approvals, the spending controls, the reimbursement workflows. Those things reach all the way to the volunteer committee members giving up time with their families to do the work.

Worth watching if you've ever wondered whether the details you're managing actually matter.

"I find out sometimes about an event when I see income for it."

Joe Ghobrial said it casually, like it was just part of the job. And for a lot of church finance teams, it is.

The bigger the church, the more programs, the more budget owners, the more chances for spending to happen before finance ever hears about it. By the time the reconciliation lands on your desk, the event is already over.

That is not a people problem. It is a visibility problem.

"The best youth ministry budget isn't the biggest one. It's the one that's actually tracked."

The camp with the most money does not always run the best program. The one that knows exactly where every dollar went usually does.

Tracking is not just bookkeeping. It is how you make the case next year for the resources you actually need.

If your team is heading into summer camp season, this is worth saving.

"People who are doing ministry don't want to sign physically on anything."

Joe Ghobrial said this about switching from paper purchase order forms to digital prior approval through KleerCard, and it landed.

Park Street Church moved their entire spending workflow into the app. Staff request approval before spending. Finance sees it in real time. No paper chasing, no reconciliation surprises at month end. The people doing the work get to stay focused on the work.

"Budget is supporting the mission rather than the mission being subjected to budget."

Joe Ghobrial has been in church finance for years, and he said this is the shift that changes everything.

When your budget is built around what the church is called to do, the finance conversation becomes a ministry conversation. The numbers stop being a barrier and start being a tool. That reframe is worth sitting with.

"If you call yourself a staff member of Park Street and you have a budget you are responsible over, you have a credit card."

That is the policy. Not a lengthy approval process. Not a request form sitting on someone's desk. A card tied directly to your budget and your accountability.

Joe Ghobrial joined us for a Phone a Friend Q&A and walked through how Park Street Church built a spending culture on trust and visibility instead of restriction. The whole conversation is worth your time.

Summer camp season is coming fast, and the budget surprises usually arrive before the buses do.
Here are 5 finance things your church or nonprofit should lock down now:

Deposits are due before registrations close. Budget for that gap.
Per-camper costs need their own line items (not a lump "camp" expense).
Capture receipts at point of purchase, not at month-end.
Volunteers should not be floating camp expenses on personal cards.
Keep camp funds separate from your general operating budget.

Your team works too hard to lose track of camp spending. See how KleerCard can help. Link in first comment!

What does it actually look like to build a school around a place and a people?

Emily Hill has spent years answering that question. She is the Founder and Director of Haven School, and she is joining Owen tomorrow for a live Executive Leadership Series conversation on place-based classical education, what it means to cultivate real community, and the leadership realities behind building something with deep roots.

If you lead a Christian school, work in nonprofit education, or just want to hear from someone who has built something worth building: this one is for you.

Wednesday, May 27 at 12:30pm CT. Free to attend.

"Google can steer you wrong very, very quickly. You don't even know what the problem is called to search for it."

There are no good resources. Every new church bookkeeper, accidental treasurer, and volunteer finance lead figures it out the hard way. Causes a few panics. Eventually finds someone who has been through it.

Delena Thomas was that person on her own learning curve. She is now that person for hundreds of churches.

If you have ever been the new church finance lead with too many questions and no one to ask: you are not alone, and the answers exist.

"Operations is ministry."

That is Delena Thomas of Tov Works.

She serves the finances of churches, schools, daycares, missionaries, and outreach programs because she believes the people who keep the books, code the receipts, balance the funds, and watch the budget are the reason everyone else can do the visible work.

If you are in church finance, save this for the day you forget.
