knowledge is power...

Too many apostolic churches treat the finances like a tightly guarded secret, which allows bitterness to fester and grow. If we don't have anything to hide, why are we hiding? If we do have something to hide, well then we have bigger problems...

I believe wholly in an annual business meeting for the voting members where the finances are disclosed in an open and honest manner.
