Prior research has suggested that pastors have difficulty in managing church finances. On the other hand, the involvement of the congregation with knowledge that tends to be pragmatic exposes the pastor to start rubbing against the values ​​contained in this pragmatic understanding, including matters of financial management. In terms of finance, actually the provisions of the Bible are sufficient as guidance, in the form of main values, only requiring an understanding in accordance with the context and the current relevance of the challenges of the church and its congregation.

These sources are in the vortex of the tug of interest between idealism as a servant of God and pragmatism, a solution must be sought as soon as possible regarding the sustainability of the church fellowship institution.

Bagaimana narasumber tersebut berada dalam pusaran tarikan kepentingan antara idealisme sebagai hamba Tuhan dan pragmatisme yang harus dicarikan solusi secepatnya terkait keberlanjutan lembaga persekutuan gereja. Pada akhirnya, kesetiaan, integritas, dan terbuka dengan niat baik untuk bekerjasama dengan berbagai kalangan (partnering) menjadi kunci karakter antara peran pendeta dan bendahara. Karakter ini dijaga dalam ungkapan iman, bersandar pada Tuhan. Model kepemimpinan keuangan seorang pendeta dan juga bendahara dengan pendekatan studi naratif digambarkan dalam tulisan ini.  Keywords: pengelolaan keuangan, stewardship (penatalayanan), integritas, kesetiaan, partnering
