Information about our church’s finances
Our
church is financially dependent on God's provisions.
These
provisions primarily come through the generous and faithful gifts of
the people who care about the ministry of this church.
Our church's annual operating budget
is
approved by our congregation at our July congregational meeting.
A
stewardship team
of
five church members oversees the proper use of our church's
finances.
10% of our general offerings go to support Christian mission work
in
our community, country and world.
Giving statements and financial newsletters or flyers
are
sent out four times a year to everyone who makes regular financial
gifts by check and/or giving envelopes. If you ever have any
questions about your giving records, please contact our financial
secretary, Debra Sunde at 380-2422.
A
special benevolence offering
is
taken following the communion service on the first Sunday of each
month. These funds are used by the Deacon Team to help people
within our church family or community who are facing short-term
financial challenges.
Designated gifts
are
welcome in our church. Special gifts can be designated for approved
building projects, special purchases, benevolence needs, missions
and ministries within our church. We ask the designated giving be
“over and above” people’s regular giving so as not to hurt our
general giving that takes care of our staff, missionaries, and
ministries. We also have a
list of pending special
projects and
purchases awaiting funding.
Cornerstone offers
helpful resources
for gaining financial freedom and living generously.
There are many
ways to
financially support the ministry
of Cornerstone Community Church including
online giving.
