This is an exciting time for our congregation. We have new enthusiasm from visitors, new members and are about to wind down our major renovation. We are moving into the future with positive energy.
At this time of year, we plan for our new fiscal year: July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. We are working on next year’s budget with high hopes for all we want to do. Our operating expenses include:
- Salaries, Benefits, Contractors
- Denomination Affairs
- Program Expenses
- Music
- Administrative costs
- Facility and Maintenance
- And more
Our very existence depends on the efforts we all make to support our community, our programs, our building, and our future. Time, Talent, and Treasure are the basis of our sustainability.
There are 3 building blocks of financial support:
- The annual pledge drive supports our church operating expenses, such as salary, programs, and administrative costs.
- A continuation of the Capital Campaign as we wrap up the construction but still have bills and a loan to pay off
- Reminder of our Rose Legacy Circle for those wishing to help secure our financial future with a legacy gift (often through an estate plan or insurance policy).
With the support and guidance of Rev. Cory Lovell, we look toward the next decade to imagine how to continue living into our mission. We envision growing our membership, increasing our family ministry program, providing fair compensation for our employees, continuing improvements on our facility and preserving our sacred space on the hill for our community’s children, grandchildren and generations into the future.
Making these plans a reality will require hard work, enthusiasm and a financial commitment from each of us. Together, our individual strengths are linked to accomplishing what none of us could do alone. Our continued success depends on many people, many talents and a positive attitude. We encourage being generous with your time and talent in addition to sharing your financial resources as much as you can.
