2010 Campaign

2010 Stewardship Campaign

Take A Step

2010 Budget Targets
The projected 2010 Operating Budget is $2.7million and represents an 8% increase over 2009.

$400,000 pertains to the Nursery School and After School Program that is funded primarily from tuition.
$300,000 is funded through program fees and special use income generated by the church
$2,000,000, the balance, is funded through pedges received and the Endowment Fund

Several cost reduction strategies were enacted in 2009, necessitated by a 20% decline in pledges received due to the difficult economic environment. We are looking to make up some lost ground in 2010, and are depending on your commitment and support. Please take the time to consider your 2010 pledge prayerfully and return your pledge to the Church Office by November 22nd, to be included in the Dedication Sunday service.

Note, if you wish to pay by credit card, call Barb Lowe in the church office at 342-0875 x231, as we don't yet have the capability to process electronic financial transactions on the website or download authorization form (click here), print and return to Barb Lowe in the church office.

2009 Annual Giving Chart

                  Click the link above to see the distribution of families who pledged at various
                     levels last year. Where are you in your Stewardship commitment? We are asking
                    everyone to look at biblical tithing (proportionate giving with 10% as God's
                    challenge). The sad truth is that the largest category, some 269 families, pledged
                    zero last year. Whatever you decide, any amount, large or small, is a start.
                    Go ahead, Take A Step!
