1 BETTER TOGETHER Focused on People, Building Community Church Year Proposed Annual Budget & Ministry Plan (September 1, August 31, 2018) Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NLT)

2 Our Membership Covenant Please review and renew your commitment to fulfilling the responsibilities as a member of Central Baptist Church. I. I will protect the unity of my church by acting in love toward the other members. by refusing to gossip. by supporting the leadership. "Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. (Romans 14:19)...Have a sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply from the heart. (1 Peter 1:22) "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs... (Ephesians 4:29) Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be no advantage to you. (Hebrews 13:17) II. I will share the responsibility of my church by praying for its growth. by inviting the unchurched to attend. by warmly welcoming those who visit. To the church We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. (I Thessalonians 1:1-2) Then the Master told his servants, Go out to the roads and the country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. (Luke 14:23) Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you in order to bring praise to God. (Romans 15:7) III. I will serve the ministry of my church by discovering my gifts and talents. by being equipped to serve in missions and ministry. by developing a servant's heart. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10) (God) gave some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare Gods people for works of service, so that the body of Christ might be built up. (Ephesians 4:11-12) Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus Made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant. (Philippians 2:3-4,7) IV. I will support the testimony of my church by attending faithfully. by living a godly life. by giving regularly (tithe). Let us not give up meeting together but let us encourage one another. (Hebrews 10:25) Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. (Philippians 1:27) On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his own income (1 Corinthians 16:2) A tithe from everything from the land belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord. (Leviticus 27:30)

3 Pastor s Page In his book The Purpose Driven Church Rick Warren defines vision as the ability to accurately assess present changes and take advantage of the opportunities within your current circumstances. In other words, as a church it is imperative that we recognize the changing dynamics in our community and prayerfully seek God for His wisdom as to the best ways we can connect and build relationships with our neighbors so that we might earn the right to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. Over the past six months the ministerial staff and elders have prayerfully sought God for specific wisdom on the best methodology or ministry structure moving forward, gathered input from church consultants, and dialogued with many of our church leaders. The scripture passage that has most dominated my prayer life is James 1:5 which says: If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. The many different dynamics of our blended fellowship, the diversity of our growing community, and the many special traditions of our church s heritage have made it difficult to discern the best way forward. In addition, none of us are perfect in church leadership and no one wants to fail. However, God has called us to such a time as this, and we desire to be found faithful with all that God entrust into our oversight. So, after much prayer and discussion, we are proposing that we move forward into our new church year with four newly identified focal areas of community ministry and a new family friendly ministry schedule. We believe that this new focus will help turn our eyes, hearts, hands, feet, and resources toward people in our community who are hurting and in need of spiritual transformation. In addition, we believe the new schedule will enable us to better target the different generations in our community for discipleship and best serve the needs of the modern family. It is our desire to redirect our people and resources to a community based ministry model. We have identified four specific areas that we believe will help us be more effective in reaching the lost and equipping Great Commission Families. Life Hurts & Challenges: Identify areas where people in our community experience pain, grief, and life challenge. Grief Share, Divorce Care, Financial Peace, Celebrate Recovery (Addiction) Community Ministry Projects (Handyman, Wheelchair Ramp, etc.) Special Needs (Autism, ADHD, ADD, etc.) Life Hobbies: Identify specific areas of interests where people in our community enjoy spending their leisure time. Sports Ministry (Basketball, Football, Soccer, etc.) Physical Exercise (Aerobics, Running/Walking Club, Fitness) Outdoors Ministry (Fishing, Shooting, etc.) Arts (Painting, Dance, etc.) Life Skills: Identify specific skills that people in our community need and desire to improve so that their lives can be more productive. Music & Voice Athletic Training Budgeting Home Economics (Cooking, Sewing, etc.) Languages (ESL) Life Stages & Seasons: Identify specific stages of life and the various needs in these stages that people in our community experience. Preschool Care (Full Day Preschool) Afterschool Care (Tutoring) Parenting (MOPS, Adolescence Development, Dating, College Prep., etc.) Marriage (Preparation, Enrichment) Senior Care (Independent Living Center, Estate Planning, Widow Care, etc.) Homeschool, Christian Education

7 Proposed Budget Highlights This year s budget reflects a decrease in budgeted expenses of $71,043. Weekly needs for : $19, Monthly needs for : $85, Weekday Preschool supplement increased to $29,190.71/month. This includes 50% of the monthly mortgage payment ($13,766.61), staff support ($6,912.85) and campus operational cost off-set ($8,511.25) Rental Income reflects increases in current market value of facility usage contracts with Expressions of Worship and rental of the Farm House and the White House. Contracts are reviewed annually. The increase in Church Professional Staff represents a potential 2% merit increase as well as the addition of a Preschool Support staff position shared between the Church and Weekday Preschool. The Buildings and Grounds increase is the result of the continued increase in facility management costs and the addition of landscaping to the line item. The IT Infrastructure of the church needs updating. Including upgrades to WiFi access points, upgrading and expanding current security access system, and updating the computers for the staff and in the sound booths. The increase in the Ministry of Worship line item addresses needed upgrades to the sound and lighting equipment in the WRC to improve the quality of worship programming.
