Finance Team

Halfway report from the Finance Team

Well, we finally have the financial numbers from January through June 2019. General Fund giving is about 98% of Budgeted giving. Expenditures are about 91% of what we budgeted. So, we’re “in the black.” I applaud you all for your generous hearts in continuing to worship God with your offerings. I also applaud the staff and ministries for being conservative in their spending.

As far as Missions' funding goes, overall Missions are funded at 92% of where they should be at the halfway point. The funding for specific missions, which have received only the 7% of General Fund giving, and whose total is apportioned among all the missions we support, is at only about 76% of where it should be. However, a few missions that have been receiving designated offerings are almost at their goal for the whole year.

If anyone has questions about the above, feel free to ask me and I will explain.

Areas where we can use Designated Giving include:

• Courtyard project
• Church plant (Delhi)
• Bethlehem (forklift)

Again, thank you for living in accordance with Deuteronomy 16:17.

“Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.”

Jim Garvey, Chairman of the Finance Committee
