STEWARDSHIP
AND FINANCE
OPPORTUNITIES
·
John Wolf, Stewardship Council Rep.
·
Don Wiese, Finance Council Rep.
What:
This committee is tasked with developing the yearly budget, oversees
the distribution and spending of funds, tracking giving and other incomes, and
develops future financial directions so the mission of the congregation can be
met. Utilizing information from the
treasurer and financial secretary regarding the weekly giving and
outside incomes, this
committee analyzes the current and future financial state of the congregation.
Based on these analyses, this committee makes recommendations to the
Church Council regarding financial policies and decisions.
How
often: This committee meets
once a month, generally the day prior to the Church Council meeting to review
the previous month’s income and expense so that adjustments in the budget can
be made.
What:
This committee oversees both the Time and Talent assessment and the
financial pledge program. In
addition, they help to educate the congregation about the biblical understanding
of stewardship.
What:
In the spring, the Stewardship Committee conducts a “Time and
Talent” assessment, using tools such as this booklet to help people in the
congregation find a way to volunteer their time here at the church.
In the fall, the Stewardship Committee conducts a pledge program
for the following year. Help is
needed to conduct both of these events.
How
often: About a month
for the Time and Talent assessment and another month for the financial pledges.
Each event is independent, and you may volunteer for one or both.
