An important aspect of life and campus ministry is using your resources wisely. You will track how well you are using each of these resources and give a report to be reviewed by your CMIT mentor during your one-on-one.
Manage Money
You will be expected to keep a monthly budget and keep track of your monthly income and expenses including keeping all receipts in some form of an accounting system. This should be reviewed with your staff mentor.
