FINANCIAL UPDATE
So far 2021 has been a year of opportunity for our church. Our staff has done a wonderful job of providing opportunities to grow our faith and our church in the community. And YOU have done an awesome job embracing these opportunities. Our church’s YTD operating account is positive. Our expenses are under budget and our contributions are steady. We ended 2020 strong and hope to do the same in 2021. We have several projects that we would like to initiate in 2022. We start working on our 2022 budget and will have our Stewardship Campaign the first of next year. Please continue to support your church financially and help keep this positive momentum going for our awesome church.
