Much Entrusted
“From the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
Luke 12:48 · NIV

Faithful Stewardship Shouldn't Require a Finance Degree

Or Spreadsheets That Never Talk to Each Other

Much Entrusted is a budgeting and event-planning app for churches. It helps ministry leaders and finance teams plan honestly, remember what things really cost, and give leadership one picture of the year they can trust.

Count the Cost of a Summer Camp

Change the numbers and watch what the church would cover. It uses the same math as the app: at 45 campers you need 2 buses, and the 81st camper would need a third bus.

At $215 a head, families are $44.44 per person short of what it costs. The church covers the $2,000 gap.

What It Looks Like

Everyone Sees Their Part. Leadership Sees the Whole.

Where the year will land, what each ministry has spent, and the events coming up. Each leader sees the ministries they lead, and what's waiting on them is there the moment they sign in: budgets to review, a vote to record, payments past due.

Stewardship, Made Practical

Stewardship Is Something You Practice

Three habits any church can build, with or without us. Much Entrusted makes each one easier.

Count the Cost Before You Commit

“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?”
Luke 14:28 · NIV
A summer camp, 45 campers
What it costs$11,675
Families pay $9,675The church covers $2,000

Before anyone signs a contract or opens registration, add up everything the event will cost, not just what you plan to charge. The difference between the two is what the church is being asked to cover. It should be a decision somebody made, not a surprise somebody finds.

How we help: Plan an event and the church's share updates as you type, with the price that would cover it right beside it.

Remember What It Really Cost

“Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the entire weight was recorded at that time.”
Ezra 8:34 · NIV
Last year's camp, books closed, really cost $11,940; this year's plan starts there.

When an event is over, look back at what it actually cost and what you'd do differently. The next person to plan it might be you, or someone who starts next spring. Either way, they should start from what happened, not from a guess.

How we help: Once a month you export a file of transactions from your accounting software and import it. The charges land on their events, so nobody has to write the costs down, and next year's event opens with them already in place.

Give an Honest Account

“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”
1 Corinthians 4:2 · ESV
This year, every ministry together
Where the year will land$134,289
$106,436 spent, $27,853 still to comeOn track: $15,911 under

Leadership should see one picture of the year: what's planned, what's been spent, and what's still coming, in words anyone can follow. Honest numbers make good decisions possible, even on the days they aren't the numbers you hoped for.

How we help: Every event rolls into one annual budget, each leader's budget is approved by the person they report to, and a print-ready packet is ready for whoever signs off.

In the beta, one sign-in can step into each seat, so you can try the whole route yourself. Each person gets their own login at launch.

What we believe about church money
“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?”
Proverbs 27:23–24 · ESV

Every Ministry's History Lives in Somebody's Head, and It Leaves When They Do

  • “What did this cost us last year?”

    It stops the meeting. The number is in the accounting software somewhere, and getting it out takes someone with the login and an afternoon to spare. The decision rarely waits that long.

  • “About the same as last year, probably.”

    An estimate is only a guess until someone records what it actually cost, and in a busy church that job rarely gets done.

  • “The last youth minister handled all that.”

    They did, and they took four years of numbers with them. So the new one prices summer camp from their old church, in a different town with different costs. It's the only reference they have.

Who It Equips

Everyone Who Answers for the Church's Money

“I know my people. I don't know accounting.”

Ministry leaders

Price your event with confidence, see what it asks of the church before anyone commits, and walk into the budget meeting with a plan you can explain.

“Everyone asks me what last year cost.”

The finance office

See what every event is asking the church to cover before it's approved, and stop rebuilding last year's numbers from the ledger every time someone needs them.

“Just tell me where we'll land.”

Pastors and boards

One picture of the whole year in plain words, with every number explained. Each leader's budget goes to the person they report to, then on up to a final vote by your committee or congregation.

In the beta, one sign-in can step into each seat, so you can try the whole route yourself. Each person gets their own login at launch.

“We knew what it would cost before we said yes.”

The Whole Church

Fewer surprises in the budget. Decisions made on purpose instead of discovered afterwards. And a history of what things really cost that stays with the church when people move on.

Who's Building This

I'm the Person You'd Ask What Last Year's Camp Cost

I work in my church's finance office, and I sit in the meetings where its budget gets decided. Many of the people responsible for a church's money feel unequipped for the financial side of it. Much Entrusted is built to close that gap.
