Aldersgate 2008 Budget
Each summer, leadership and staff at Aldersgate provide the Financel Committee with budget requests in late July. While these requests are being considered, revenue is projected for the next year based on the current year's revenues. The Coordinating Council may request that committees adjust requests before a final budget is put together. A proposed budget is then presented at a Charge Conference in the fall for approval.
The church budget is like that of a small business - a moving target - because income varies during the year and is affected by church attendance, membership transitions, special gifts, and the economy. The Finance Committee meets on a regular basis to review expenses and revenues, and may make adjustments as needed.
Copies of the current Missions & Ministry (operating) budget and Shepherd Hall (building) budget are available to all members.
If you have questions about the church budget, please contact Steve Larkin, chair of the Finance Committee at s.larkin@aluminum.org.
