About church finances


The Finance Committee oversees fund-raising and collections for the church and advises the Board of Trustees on budgetary matters. In recent years, the committee has coordinated a Capital and Improvements Campaign that repaired the Sanctuary roof and put new doors on Fellowship Hall, a new computer in the minister's office, and a new kitchen in the church. Part of the money raised also enabled the congregation to expand its education and music programs. The remainder is reserved for expanding the parking lot and controlling rain-water run-off.

Each year the Finance Committee also coordinates an annual Pledge Canvass. Members' annual pledges make up the bulk of the monies available for maintaining the church and its programs.

The other half of the fiscal picture -- expenditure -- is the responsibility of the church treasurer and the Board. Although the treasurer is, under the bylaws, a member of the Finance Committee, he or she is prohibited from chairing it.
