Historically, the church council has always presented a single balanced budget for the congregation’s consideration. Multiple voices have been heard expressing a desire to restore Pastor Kristen to full time ministry. This year, the church council is presenting three potential budgets for consideration reflecting, respectively, a restoration of her status to full time, 90% and 75%.
Over the past year we have maintained a month end cash reserve of 2.5 – 3 months’ worth of budgeted expenses.
