Sample Youth Budget Template

A Budget is a summary of intended expenditures along with proposals for how to meet them.
Therefore, a budget is presented in two parts: the income and the expenses. In the best of all
possible worlds the “total anticipated income” and the “total anticipated expenses” will be exactly
equal amounts. Because a budget is a projection of future income and expenditures it is also, by
definition, a ministry plan both for current ministry and for managing future ministries. It is also
important to note that a budget is an estimate of what is expected to happen and should not be
treated as infallible.
By way of example, here is a sample of what a congregations annual youth ministry budget may
look like. Note, this budget does NOT include a paid staff’s compensation as that would normally
i
be expressed under the congregation’s budget.
