Annual Budget Process

The Board and committees are starting our budget process. Here’s a brief summary of the key steps involved:

1. Committee Submissions: Each committee (Ministry, Worship, Social Justice, Membership, Fundraising, Pastoral Care, and Property) submits its proposed budget.

2. Consolidation: All submitted budgets are consolidated into a total proposed budget.

3. Pledge Drive Review: The outcomes of the upcoming pledge drive, where members pledge financial and time support, are reviewed. The total financial pledges will be compared against the proposed budget.

4. Budget Meeting: A congregational meeting is scheduled for May to review the budget and assess if the pledges cover the proposed budget.

5. Discussion on Adjustments: If the pledges do not meet the budget needs, discussions will focus on potential cuts or ways to raise additional funds.

For any questions or concerns, members are encouraged to reach out to Tony or the Board members. This structured process ensures transparency and collaboration within the congregation. If you need more information or specific details about any part of the process, feel free to ask!
