The 2017 budget of $132,900 reflects just an increase of $600 over 2016. The General Offering accounts for 57% of total revenue projections, with outside personal support at 30% and partnerships accounting for 13%. The 2016 missions giving forecast was lowered to 10% of general offering receipts, but is back at 15% for 2017. Missions giving includes national/state (7%), and local (3%) partnerships, support for global missions via the Lottie Moon (1%), Annie Armstrong (1%), and Indiana State Missions (0.5%) offerings, as well as supporting church planting in Tipton (1%) and other local opportunities (1.5%) such as addiction recovery programs and homeless relief. Administrative costs are up 62% due to increasing insurance costs, and additional accounting and church management software services. Staff budget includes a 2.5% COLA for our three pastors, an increase in health insurance premiums, and compensation for a few additional part time hours. The ministry budget (SHO GRO) drops only $208 as well as lowered BCM funding matched to reduced partner support. For 2017, a mandatory 10% savings has been removed from the budget and all unused revenue will be allocated into cash reserves.
