| A working budget
is created by the Session Committees and approved by the Session each
year. The approved budget is presented to the congregation.
The Session prepares a stewardship campaign and church members commit to financially support the budget through their
weekly offerings. In addition, members are asked to pay an annual
per capita apportionment to support our Presbytery, Synod, and National
Offices. |
