\nMany churches have Christian schools, preschools, mom's day out, and other similar ministries. Should these ministries be financially self-supporting? The answer is not always clear. Thom and Sam discuss six key thoughts about this issue.
\n
\n \tThere are a number of different ministries with a similar function.
\n
\n
\n \tMake certain the ministry has a clear and written purpose
\n
\n
\n \tThe first default is for the ministry to be self-supporting.
\n
\n
\n \tThe church needs to decide if "self-supporting" includes indirect costs.
\n
\n
\n \tThe church should consider any support to be part of the missions budget.
\n
\n
\n \tThe danger is that support can turn into entitlement.
