1 Page 1 budget proposal 2017

2 Page 2 A Redeemed Community of Jesus Followers on Mission Together Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2 Church Family! The 2017 budget proposal represents hours of work and prayer by your elders, staff, and volunteer leaders in an effort to be faithful stewards of the resources entrusted to this church by God. Though you will see a significant decrease in the budget proposal, we continue to uphold our desire to make disciples who make disciples and to mobilize these disciples all over the world. You will see a budget representing our commitment to the next generation, and in particular significant ongoing development of the Family Discipleship Plan. As a sending church, you will see an increased emphasis on global outreach and missions beginning right here in the Tri-Cities. Church planting as well as generous support of those families sent out from TCBC are also represented in this budget, and financial support of global partners like the IMB (International Mission Board) literally spanning the globe. We are thrilled to see Gods activity at the JC Campus. This budget reflects an ongoing commitment to be a multi-site church with two thriving campuses in our area. We are also excited about the potential of finally eliminating the debt on our facilities in Gray by early This budget also represents a challenge to every person who calls Tri-Cities Baptist their church home to fully participate through regular consistent financial giving. Therefore we are asking three things of you: 1. Completely familiarize yourself with this budget information and feel free to direct any questions you may have to Pastor Gene Mermilliod or one of our other elders. 2. Pray over your faithful participation in supporting this budget as one who identifies TCBC as your church home. 3. Join us on Sunday, December 11, as we collectively and joyfully affirm this budget for May God bless you and your family as you consider what He desires to do in and through your life as a participant in this redeemed community of Jesus followers on mission together! - The Elders of TCBC David Brewer Daniel Broyles Charles Chandler Larry Durham Mike Laughrun Gene Mermilliod Paul Mermilliod Jeff Palmeter Derick Sherfey

4 Page 4 leadership team TCBC is blessed to have a wide range of opportunities and resources for disciple-making. In 2016 our preaching ministry led us through studies in Colossians, 1 Corinthians, and 1Timothy. We continue to Learn Truth together in Study Groups with a wide offering of gospel-centered curriculum. More and more people are connecting in deeper fellowship as they Live Truth together in Life Groups. Together we mobilized hundreds of people to serve locally and globally while communicating to over 2,000 people per week through various communication platforms. TCBC continues to be a national trendsetter in facilitating formal seminary training within the context of the local church. We partner with the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to train and send out local church leaders. Learn more about this program at tcbchurch.org/seminary. Through all these things and more God works in us, through us, and even despite us to change lives. In 2016 we regularly baptized new Jesus followers and celebrated with over 65 people who have made Tri-Cities Baptist their church family through meaningful membership.

5 Page 5 global outreach team We GO and make disciples of all nations... As the people of Tri-Cities give regularly and generously, the Global Outreach Team is able to: - Partner with the International Mission Board - Partner with the North American Mission Board - Support missionary families - Invest in Remedy City Church in Portland - Develop personal evangelism resources - Provide opportunities for short-term mission teams - Develop a sending pipeline for church planters - Work among unreached people groups - Support local partners and ministries We believe that the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) will one day be accomplished through the local church for the global glory of God. God s desire is for His glory to be declared among all the peoples of the earth. Every believer has a mission field where they currently live, work and play. We want to equip and mobilize the church to spread the gospel here in the Tri-Cities area. We also want to serve our community through various local ministries. Tri-Cities works within both reached and unreached people groups. A reached context is where healthy churches already exist. Our role here is to further encourage, train, and strengthen the local churches. An unreached context is where there are no churches and less than 2% of the people group is Christian. Our role here is to help plant churches. We work with the International Mission Board (IMB) as our strategic global partner. In addition we support our sent families through missionary care and work with other partners. Global Outreach Team Global Outreach Team Personnel Local Missions Church Planting Global Missions Missionary Family Support $ 142, $ 2, $ 6, $ 12, $ 67, $ 43, $ 40, $ 314, We also believe in planting healthy churches here in North America. Tri-Cities has planted and continues to support Remedy City Church in Portland, Oregon. Ti-Cities partners with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) as our strategic North American church planting partner.

7 Page 7 johnson city campus One church. Two locations TCBC is a multi-site church (one church in two locations) as a platform to more effectively mobilize our church to reach targeted areas of our region where we live, work, and play. In October our Johnson City Campus celebrated three years of ministry in the heart of South Johnson City. This past year has been one filled with God s favor as we have seen continued growth and life change. By God s grace, we have baptized more people this year than in the other two years combined. We have seen our multiplication of Life Groups double and more people consistently attending Study Groups than ever before. This year we have had over 20 people become members of our Church to join in our mission to make disciples. By God s grace, we have mobilized more of our college students on short and mid term mission projects than any year before as well as began a strategic partnership with the BCM. This past year we have had many opportunities to serve our city alongside many organizations such as the Church Mobilization Network, Keystone and Memorial Park communities, mentoring at-risk youth and serving those in need with LXI, Science Hill athletics, BCM, criminal rehabilitation programs, Agape women s services, students at Quillen Medical Center, Milligan s GOAH diversity program, international students at ETSU, and the Department of Children Services.

9 Page 9 nextgen team We invest in future generations. Our NextGen ministry exists to partner with parents in discipling the next generation to be part of a redeemed community of Jesus followers on mission together. Simply put, our passion is to help families find their joy in Jesus Christ! Your generosity and faithfulness in giving makes this possible. The NextGen ministry is organized into two parts: Kids Ministry (newborns through fifth grade) and Student Ministry (sixth through twelfth grade). By investing in the ministry of Tri-Cities Baptist Church, you provide for training, resources, equipping and encouragement that makes weekly discipleship programs like Kids Groups, Wired Groups, Summit Groups, and Launch possible. Not only that but your faithful worship through giving also goes to create and provide gospel-centered content like the Family Discipleship Plan and events like VBS and Impact that equip the next-generation to love and live for Jesus. Tri-Cities Baptist Church is also blessed to serve nearly 100 preschoolers and their families from our community through our Half-Time ministry. This self-funded weekday program serves our community and invests in children, teaching them about Jesus and preparing them for school. Learn more at tcbchurch.org/halftime.

10 Page 10 stewardship team Three Financial Goals for our Stewardship Team in 2017: 1. The Goal of Discipleship in Giving: Far more than any other topic spoken of in Scripture there are 2,350 passages that deal specifically with the subject of finances. Why? Because our finances impact every area of life including the very core of our being our hearts. Over and again the Bible warns us not to look to wealth or possessions for our satisfaction or security. Rather we are instructed to develop a heart of generosity in giving not because God or the church needs our money, but because God desires for us to learn to walk with Him by faith. How we view our finances says a lot about in whom or what we have put our trust. Therefore, discipleship in giving builds spiritual character and helps us to develop key spiritual attitudes that keep us grounded in life such as 1. God is our ultimate provider. (Ps. 23:1) 2. Setting our affections on things above. (Col. 3:1-3) 3. Godliness / Contentment is great gain. (1 Tim. 6:6-10) 2. The Goal of Debt Elimination: We began 2016 with a facilities debt of $500,000. We are pleased to say that we anticipate having eliminated all but $120,000 of that debt going into Lord willing, we will be free of that debt by the end of April next year. Praise the Lord! That action alone will free up our fixed expenses by $30,000 per month and provide more funds for local and global ministry and evangelism. What a tremendous blessing that will be for us as a church! 3. The Goal of Managing our Personnel Expenses: God has greatly blessed us in preparation for Despite the rising cost of health insurance, our policy premiums actually decreased by 2% for Not only that, the Lord has enabled us to hold the line on our overall personnel expenses so that we will actually see a modest decline in personnel expenses this coming year. In addition, we have done some restructuring of personnel in order to stream-line our costs and make the greatest use of our finances for the kingdom s sake. One way we can do this is to rely more on volunteer help for the future whenever possible.
