E8 Who Keeps the Lights On? The Unseen Ministry of Central Church

Most people never see it. Everyone hopes it happens.

Pastor Ethan sits down with Executive Director Mary Eppl and Fadienca Hawkins, who serves on Central's operations team, to talk about the ministry that makes every other ministry possible: administration. Finances, facilities, insurance, staff calendars, and yes, whether the toilets flush.

They talk about:

- What it actually takes to run a church building and a church budget

- Why budget season starts with "What has the Lord called us to do?" and not the bottom line

- The Central Standard, and why excellence is about glorifying God

- The Equip Resource Center: how it came to life and what's on the shelves

- What Mary learned in her first year as executive director: God's in control of it all
