(Dropped under $1 million in January 2015.) $250,000+--Given to retire debt through Securing Our Future so far. $11,000-Earned through sale of grocery gift cards. $10,430-Grocery card dollars spent on building improvements, including new air conditioner for the sanctuary. $43,642-Amount we were "in the red" in 2014, mostly due to an overly optimistic assumption about non-pledged giving, as well as unusual staffing transition costs. This was more than covered by use of a reserve fund, so that we started 2015 "in the black." 71.6%--Portion of budget spent on personnel costs, a typical percentage for a healthy church; unhealthy churches spend a higher percentage. 12.6%--Spent on property maintenance. 8.7%--Sent direct to missions (doesn't include $73,502 in beyond-budget dollars). 6.8%--Spent on "work areas" (ministries, office supplies, etc.). 0.3%--Spent on technology. $556,060-Budget for 2015. 8.1%--Increase in pledges for 2015. 4
