The Reality of Volunteer Church Bookkeeping

Most small churches rely on volunteer treasurers who balance church finances with their own lives

Limited Time

Volunteer bookkeepers often lose motivation over time and eventually start prioritizing paid work over helping the church.

Knowledge Gaps

Church bookkeeping is not typically taught in seminary. Well-meaning volunteers may not know proper fund accounting practices.

Complex Requirements

Managing restricted funds, generating year-end statements, and maintaining proper records can overwhelm volunteers.

Common Struggles

Sound Familiar?

These challenges are shared by volunteer treasurers at churches everywhere

Spreadsheet Chaos

Tracking donations in Excel seemed fine at first, but now you have multiple versions, formula errors, and no easy way to generate reports.

Year-End Statement Panic

Every January, you dread the hours spent compiling giving statements. Manual data entry means errors and frustrated donors.

Fund Confusion

Building fund, missions fund, benevolence fund... keeping restricted and unrestricted funds separate is a constant headache.

No Backup Knowledge

You're the only one who knows how the system works. If something happens to you, the church finances would be in trouble.

Accountability Concerns

Without proper systems, it's hard to demonstrate transparency. You want donors to trust how their gifts are being managed.

Expensive Software

Professional church accounting software costs hundreds per month - way more than the church budget allows for admin tools.

Linda Henderson

Volunteer Church Treasurer - 8 years

"I've been our church treasurer for 8 years. For most of that time, I dreaded January because of giving statements. Last year with TimelyChurch, I generated and emailed all 52 statements in under 10 minutes. The pastor couldn't believe it. Now I actually enjoy my volunteer role instead of feeling burdened by it."
