Ministry vs. Business


How does your church toe the line between business and ministry? Some churches are corporate wannabes, other churches are rebels against a corporate mindset, but here was a school of thought I found interesting.
Google, in a completely unrelated search, took me to What Every Non-Profit Can Learn From a For-Profit (Powerpoint or HTML). Those of you eager to learn from the corporate world are probably salivating just from reading the title. Well, it's an outline from the CEO of Kanakuk Kamps regarding the way they run their organization, and it's got some pretty great gems. 

Here are a few regarding business and ministry:
  • Kanakuk's "mix" is 51% ministry and 49% business
  • All decisions must follow this commitment
  • Ministry is fueled by business operations, not dependent on donations
  • Business is always second to a ministry application
