  "abstract": "<p>Financial management practices in the faith based areas at large and in the churches specifically is not the recent development. Despite its age, the financial management practice has been challenged in the church because of two main reasons; the first is the source of income arise from volunteers, there is a thought not to monitor the resources with adequate professionals since it is seemed to be holy and the second is the sacred and secular divide the church in which separates the financial management to the secular one and seen as it is a profane. The existence of the aforementioned challenges on one hand and the ever growing resources of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY) on the other hand are the two paradoxes. The study assessed the financial management practice of the EECMY for administering its financial resources within its structure. Population of the study consists of the 28 church units (synods) and 7 joint programs of the church, total of 35. The study was conducted based on purposively selected 15 church units and 5 joint programs.</p>",
