There’s a lot of business behind running a church; that’s one of the things I’m learning since I began working at mine. There are bills to be paid, and most of them are pretty standard, but one thing I discovered is one that makes sense but never occured to me.
Amid the heat and electric bills, phone bills and all the typical stuff you’d expect with any building, including mortgage life insurance and other stuff, I found out churches also carry ministry insurance.
I guess it makes sense; ministries are as likely as any to get sued, I suppose, and since one of the services a ministry performs is a form of counseling, it makes sense to cover that kind of risk. I suppose it’s something I should have figured out long ago; but it was still an eye-opener. Learned something new.
