Weekly Insights into generosity, Conference finances, and being stronger together.
Financial Transparency
The Rev. Molly Carlson

Illinois Conference UCC churches:

This has been a year of significant financial review in the Illinois Conference. Prior to our Annual Celebration, we wanted to provide as much information and insight into both our process and our current position as possible. I recognize this will be too much information for many of you – but in the interest of full transparency, we are sharing it all.

All of the documents, including narrative commentary, are available on our website via the link below. This page is also listed on the left hand side our homepage, but is password protected. The webpage and password can be shared within the Illinois Conference but are not intended to be public beyond the Conference.

Throughout the month of November there were also several opportunities to discuss these financial reports. In case you were unable to join the events live, you can find links to the recordings of the events on our financial transparency webpage.

(Please note: the password must be typed in, not copied and pasted.)
We need to work together to maintain the financial viability of the Conference and the services provided that support our local churches by being Stronger Together. The Conference leadership – both called and elected – are committed to demonstrating exceptional financial stewardship in the years to come.

We welcome your feedback and comments and encourage you to use the form linked below so we can keep track of every comment and suggestion and review and respond as appropriate.

Also, please note that the deadline for 2021 donations is January 10, 2022.

Blessings,

Molly
