Growthtrac belongs to Jesus Christ. Growthtrac (volunteer) staff are privileged to be his servants (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). Growthtrac will exist only as long as God wants it to. If it becomes evident that His purpose for Growthtrac is finished, we will close our doors. The sun does not rise or set on this ministry. It is simply a tool at God's disposal (2 Timothy 2:21), for Him to use as-and as long as — He chooses.
	Growthtrac has no desire to build a financial kingdom. We seek to keep overhead as low as possible.
	Growthtrac seeks to avoid unnecessary expenses and waste.
	We utilize a volunteer team
	We issue tax-deductible receipts for all funds and materials donated.
	We will not sell or rent our mailing list to anyone. Privacy Policy
	We believe that 100% of all we are and have belongs to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). A minimum of 10% is specially consecrated to Him and should be given regularly (1 Corinthians 16:2) to God's kingdom work (Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:10). This minimum is to be supplemented with freewill offerings for special ministry purposes (Numbers 15:3; Ezra 1:4; 2 Corinthians 8-9). Scripture does not specifically state how much of the required and freewill giving should go to the local church and how much should go to other ministries cooperating with the churches in furthering God's kingdom (e.g., Focus on the Family, Prison Fellowship, Campus Crusade, mission boards, famine relief organizations, etc.). However, both scriptural example and common sense make clear that the believer's first and primary giving obligation is to his own church family. For this reason Growthtrac board members themselves give first and foremost to their local churches, and ask that our supporters do the same. Giving to Growthtrac should not be in place of, but in addition to substantial giving to one's local church. Though the great majority of our support comes from individual donors, because Growthtrac is actively involved in serving churches, we welcome being included in church budgets.
	We appreciate each financial gift we receive, realizing it often represents sacrifice and a heartfelt desire to invest in God's work. We take all contributions seriously, and are committed to carefully and honorably carrying out our role as stewards.
	A statement of Growthtrac's income and expenditures, and other distributions of funds, is available to anyone on request. Other than donors' individual giving records, which are confidential, all the rest of Growthtrac's finances are an open book.
	Growthtrac keeps careful and detailed financial records. Major policy decisions are made by the staff and board in consultation with others. We seek to adhere to the standards of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. However, membership in the ECFA requires certain procedures that our accountants tell us would create significant and unnecessary annual expenses for a ministry our size. Since we are small and our financial statements are forthright and detailed and examined by an accountant, we believe we maintain financial accountability as effectively as most ECFA organizations.
	We try not to make a major purchase without first praying that God will provide it at no cost or reduced cost, and waiting a period of time for God to provide or for an alternative to arise.
	All purchases are paid in full within thirty days. There have been no exceptions to this. We believe God is not pleased and does not bless us when we hold on to other people's money.
	Growthtrac operates without debt (Romans 13:8). Like any ministry, we must project ahead based on past giving levels, making financial decisions for which the bills will not come due for some time. We make reasonable projections, but on a few occasions general fund giving has dropped and we have come up short. In those cases no vendors have ever failed to receive funds, nor have they received them late
	As much as possible, Growthtrac offers its services free of charge.
	Anyone with specific financial questions is invited to contact us
