The 2016 budget of $132K reflects an 11% reduction over last year. General offerings are projected to remain the same at $80K, and as we make plans to constitute as a church we are not planning for partner income from other churches. We are anticipating continued regional and state partnerships as a small portion of our overall revenue. This year has a reduction in giving from 15 to 10% of general offering receipts, although we will give beyond 10% to missions causes as revenue surplus allows. Administrative costs increase substantially due to overhead in being gifted the Chouse property, but our facilities budget has decreased substantially due to meeting in a new venue. Staff budget is reduced 5% by eliminating COLA and various allowances including wellness, parking and technology. The 2015 budget listed in the comparison year corrects a small housing allowance discrepancy ($265) that was underreported in last year's budget presentation.
$132K budget unanimously approved on December 20, 2015.
