Losing the Mission Overhead expenses of non-profits and denominations is causing a loss of respect. As non-profits grow there is always a danger that expenses overtakes the Vision of the cause. Many American world mission organization spend the bulk of their funds on staff and expenses stateside and only designated funds make it to the field. Many large benevolent organizations spend as much as 80% on overhead. Many denominations send most of their funds on ever growing administration with very little going to the mission of the church. Meeting Administration salaries offer become more the goal of organization than the original Mission.

These are very good words. We do not have a right to exist. We have a mission to advance. At the point where our existence or self-protection trumps the mission, we cross a line that shouldn’t be crossed.

These are very good words. We do not have a right to exist. We have a mission to advance. At the point where our existence or self-protection trumps the mission, we cross a line that shouldn’t be crossed. I’ve been bi-vocational in ministry. What you say captures a legitimate sense. But, it is also true for churches of all sizes. The local church should be very heavily influencing the direction of our fellowship. We should be as effective as possible in mission, globally and in our own communities. It’s all mission. And, when our expenditures are not serving mission well, we should bring attention to those areas to bring health and highest possible effectiveness. Well said!

Home churches

have very low overhead, can be more mission focused, make better disciples (as opposed to church members), along with other benefits as have approximately 20 million christians who have dropped out of church and channeled their energy and resources in viable evangelistic and community service oriented outreach.But such an idea won't fly in an institutional-minded, self-preserving (but lose you own soul) church God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led

Any organization has to constantly Gaurd against losing the mission in the Bureaucracy. Same with the local church. People are less and less about supporting a system unless the system really builds the organization to fulliful the mission

Do Pastors push the misison?

If administrative cost are 80% to 85% of the monthly income, can the church be missional?Administrative Cost under control?Pastor's salary inflated because off of a old church roll?Salaries (minister of music, youth, children and administrative pastor) taking the correct % of the church's monthly income?

I'm not saying you are wrong, but don't smaller states tend to be geographically huuuuuuuuuuuge? State land area tends to go up as you go west in the United States, and a lot of those states have relatively low populations considering their land area until you get near the west coast
