When an Elder isn't on Board


We expect that some people will contribute very little financially to our churches. Take for instance the college student, living on student loans.

Or visitors—they're likely to keep the purse strings drawn until they decide to make your church their home.

But what would you do if you discovered that one of your elders wasn't giving? I'm not talking about an elder experiencing a financial crisis or one recently out of work. And I'm not talking about someone who's just overly frugal. What if you found out that you had an elder who wasn't giving a dime? Nada.
