Stewardship

Thankful for God's Gifts

Each year we commence with our Stewardship Campaign, typically in October. Our annual budget is slightly greater than $1.15M and we need to match our expenses with sufficient income as wise stewards of your gifts. The majority of our annual expenses are fixed. We currently have 13 employees with salaries and benefits. There are many office expenses with equipment, supplies, paper, postage, telephone, and more. Our beautiful campus requires insurance, maintenance, utilities, repairs, and improvements. Mission ministry, outreach, spiritual life and growth, Deacon Ministry, Health Ministry, contingency and reserve funds comprise other elements of our expenses. All members and friends are invited to provide an estimate of giving to help us plan our cash flow.


In addition, we ask for an additional contribution for Per Capita. Per Capita is a set amount of money (apportionment) per member that congregations pay to the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). It is a Presbyterian Covenant Community Fund - part of the glue that holds Presbyterians together. Because every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC(USA)’s system of government, the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system should be shared by everyone as well. The Per Capita amount per individual member in 2024 is $41.00 ($82.00 /couple). All members are invited to contribute Per Capita as an additional amount above and beyond the estimate of giving for the annual Stewardship Campaign.
