- Bishop and Annual Conference,It is customary for the Council on Finance and Administration to present its Initial Report at this jucnture of the annual conference session. As president of the Council, I am honored to present certain financial information about our connection of churches that makes up the conference. These dollars and cents represent the faith and generosity of our people in the midst of challlenging times. And we are ever grateful for these financial gifts⊠these gifts truly make a difference in the worldâŠ
- So, thank you West MichiganâŠ.. (refer/read slide..)After serving 8 years on the Council, I would like to thank you and the council for this privilege; and to recognize members of the Council, (read names)
- Now, I would like to start with the total expense dollars in our churches and where they go. The sum of Table II reports show a total of almost $74 million expenditures by all our churches. 90% of these stays in the local church as shown on this slideâŠ
- The remaining 10% go to conference and district ministry shares and designated gifts to the conference Six-Lanes and other advance specials. Every dollar of these $1.5million for six-lanes and advance specials go the ministries designated by the churches. $4milliion support the programs and ministries of the conference. $1.7 million go to the general church as the conference share of the worldwide ministry of the UMC. The remaining half million go to districts ministries.
- From the offering plate out of the church doors into the world⊠Your giving to Ministry shares and to the advance specials make a difference to people we will never meet and to places we will not see. Here is a history of generous giving to conference ministry shares, district ministries and designated gifts to advance specials. By the way, Advance special is a short hand for funds that are designated to âAdvance the love and grace of Jesus in the worldâ.
- While dollars of ministry shares receipts are generally level, the percentage receipts are not because the conference budget has been steadily decreasing.
- You can see that there is opportunity for close to half of our churches to improve their giving and to move into the 100% territory.
- We are hopeful that the decrease in 100% givers will be reversed.
- This chart is another way to analyze where the support of ministry shares come. As you can see the shortest bar shows 6 churches giving $623,600 and the longest bar represent 110 churches giving approx. the same amount of $623,600. But as the Bible says âto whom much as given, much is expected.â
- This is a graphic of the percentage paid by churches and their respective membership size. You will notice a big cluster on the 100% vertical mark. Thatâs where the 273 churches are clustered. Where the âdiamondsâ located on the vertical axis represent their membership size. To the left of the 100% mark are churches giving less than 100%.
- Here is another way to âdissectâ giving to ministry shares. This is also a reflection of the areas of financial strength and challenges among our churches.
- Weâve talked about where the dollars come. Now, letâs see where the ministry shares dollars go..(see the slide) Further breakdown on the following slidesâŠ
- 26% go to the superintendency and support of our ministers. 18% of ministry shares go enable the ministries of our 6 district superintendents as the provide leadership, nurture and oversight to our pastors and churches. 8% go to the provisioning of our ministers. Equitable compensation contribute to the maintain the minimum salaries of our elders in churches that are in transition and missional churches with ethnic congregations.
- 13% of ministry shares go to the ministries of administration. 3% is the conference contribution to support the office of the bishop and clergy assistant to the bishop. The other 10% provides for the conference treasurerâs office, the maintainance of conference property (of 5 camps, 4 DS parsonages, our portion of the bishopâs residence and the conference center. Portion of the conference session expenses, the archives of the conference and other legal and administrative expenses.
- 26% supports the conference connectional ministries, (as shown on the slide).
- As I said in the beginning, we are not just about dollars and cents. For the mission of the annual conference is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The church is the body of Christ in the world, the face that reflects the grace and love of Christ and the hands of Christ so that His will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven. In the ultimate analysis, we are not just fund raisers, but we are disciple raisers.
- In the role of the Council to prepare the conference budget, we follow this budget process⊠which is a collaborative process.
- In the midst of financial challenges, we are encouraged by Godâs promise the faithful. We serve the God of the universe who created everything and to whom everything belongs. The God of utmost generosity who give His only Son for our salvation.
- As disciples of Jesus Christ.. We give generously, etcâŠ(see slide)
- What if all members tithe? âŠ.
- We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. (Phil. 4:13). You will find more resources about our shared mission and ministries on the conference web site and hand outs in the lobby. Contact the treasurers office and the conference connection ministries office. Again, thank you.
