The 2019 budget of $136,000 reflects a total decrease of 4% over 2018. For the General Fund we are forecasting 10% growth over 2018 actual receipts of $108,755. Other income includes giving from national, state, and local partnerships, and is estimated to drop 20% due to changes in support levels. For our missions offering, we are hopeful for increased participation in 2019.
We will continue to give 15% of the General Fund to missions causes outside of fxchurch. We can invest in missions causes because we aren't making interest payments for brick and mortar. Missions giving includes national/state (7%) and local (3%) partnerships, direct support for global missions (1%), national missions (1%), and state missions (0.5%), as well as supporting area church planting (1%) and other local opportunities (1.5%) such as addiction recovery programs and homeless relief. In addition 100% of a special missions offering will go to supporting in-house mission trips, with a goal of raising $4,000 (3,280 was given last year).
Our administrative costs have lowered due to streamlining some services, whereas facilities costs will go up with building ownership on Walnut St. Pike (the "Chouse"). Our staff costs have dropped 8% by approaching collegiate ministry with volunteers, and we are including funding for intern hours and potentially for a children's ministry coordinator. The 2019 budget includes an annual 2.5% COLA for our pastor packages as well as an allotment for staff development.
Our arts budget was higher for 2018 due to some one time equipment upgrades, and we have lowered our kids budget due to making more economical choices regarding curriculum. We have included a small budget for community outreach and groups, as well as increased spending for youth ministry.
