3 Maysville Baptist Church loving God, loving others, serving the world. S Dr. Brian Stowe, Pastor Dear Church Family, It is with great honor that I introduce you to a brief profile of where our church has been, is now, and will be going! As I look over the past year, I am continually amazed at what we have witnessed God do in our midst! This past year has been no exception with evidences of God at work all around us. To God be the glory for great things He has done; and to God be the glory for His working through YOU! You really are convinced of our mission of Loving God, Loving Others and Serving the World. As we move into this coming year, I want to remind you again that we will be faced with large challenges in the area of space, new Sunday School classes, more parking, finances, and focus. But everything goes back to ensuring that we are convinced of our purpose. And I ve learned as well that where God gives a vision, He also gives the provision! But will we trust Him? If you are not involved in every part of our purpose, I sure hope you ll accept the challenge this year to be more involved and committed than ever before. So much is at stake as we understand that our Lord s return is at hand. May we have a greater urgency in doing all we do for our Lord s glory! I dearly love you, Church Family. I want you to know as well that Bonnie and I, along with our children (Sarah, Hannah, Andrew, and Elizabeth) are so very blessed to be serving alongside you to make a difference in this world with the Gospel! Pressing on together, 1

6 Highlights of Fiscal 2010 We accomplished much in 2010 and give our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, all the glory! Thank you church family for your faithfulness to give as all we strive to do is all about Him and leading people to Him! Average Sunday School Attendance was 627 during FY 2010 vs. 555 during FY 2009 an increase of 72 or 13%. Average number of people on campus for 2010 was 761, a 9% increase over the prior year of 700. We saw 170 people go thru the waters of baptism in 2010! Over the last four years, we have baptized 719 precious souls! In spite of our nation s economy, Tithes and Offerings increased by $117,000 or 11%! Even though giving was up, we did not meet our budget goal by $46,000 or 4%. As a result, we were not able to accomplish all we set out to do financially, primarily in the area of debt service. Expenses related to the General Fund were $28,000 less than Budget but outpaced tithes & offerings by $18,000. Offerings to What Matters Most were $286,000 down from $399,000 in the prior year. As of year end, cumulative WMM giving was 60% of pledges while 85% of the campaign had elapsed.

The principal balance was reduced by 65,000 during FY Principal was reduced by 95,000 in the prior FY.

8 Maysville Baptist Church Notes to Financial Statements I. Nature of Ministry The purpose of Maysville Baptist Church is to Love God, Love Others and to Serve the World! This is the foundation for everything we say, do, believe, and promote. We strive to love God with all our hearts and to love others as ourselves. Our passion is to transform lives by leading others to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our purpose is based on two key scriptures: The Great Commandment: Jesus said, Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments. Matthew 22:36-40 The Great Commission: Jesus said, Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matthew 28:19-20 Maysville Baptist Church, Inc., is a non-profit Georgia Corporation and has been exempted from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) Of the Internal Revenue Code. Our fiscal year is from October to September. II. Finance Policy: The foundation of all MBC fiscal affairs is the word of God. We strive to be above reproach in all we do. Our financial policy and procedures are based upon the following scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:18-21 (NAS) states: 18. We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread through all the churches; 19. and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness, 20. taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; 21. for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. III. Summary of Accounting Policies The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis, recognizing income as earned and expenses as incurred. MBC is in compliance with much of the accounting requirements of GAAP with the following exceptions: a.) We have chosen to not record Pledges Receivable related to the What Matters Most Capital Stewardship program. The current capital program pledges expire March 20, Pledges of $1,533,000 have been made for this program. At September 2010, Gross Pledges Receivable Balance would have been $605,000. Estimated Pledge Balances net of reserves would have been approximately $105,000. b.) Value of Donated Services/Materials as it relates to the Refuge Construction project was not recorded. An early appraisal made indicates the value of donated services and materials to be well over $600,000. 6

9 Contributions MBC recognizes income as received for all general offerings. For income received with purpose restrictions, income is recognized when the purpose is substantially fulfilled. As previously noted, MBC is not recording the unconditional pledges when they are made as income, but rather as the money is received. IV. Financial Statements: The financial statements as presented are un-audited. We had expressed our intent of establishing an internal audit committee last year. We were not successful in this and are therefore exploring other options, including obtaining the services of a CPA firm to conduct a review of our financials. 1. Cash At year end 2010, MBC had $137,000 on deposit with First Georgia Banking Company with $70,000 in a Money Market account. Interest earned is credited to the Building Fund. Restricted Fund balances were $117,000 at year end with $58,000 being restricted by donors and $59,000 being internally designated by MBC Leadership. 2. Property & Equipment Property & Equipment have been recorded at historical cost and are being depreciated over various useful lives. Net P&E values are as follows: Land & Improvements - 1,000,000 Buildings - 2,329,000 Equipment - 655,000 Total - 3,984,000 Our main properties are located on 8875 and 8879 Highway 82 Spur sitting on approximately 50 acres of land. The main Sanctuary, Education and Office Space contain approximately 43,500 Square Feet. The Refuge Building contains approximately 10,000 SF. The properties at 15 Homer Street contain a little over 12,000 SF. 3. Note Payable: MBC purchased the 50 acres we currently reside on in October of 2002 for $400,000, borrowing $344,000. The land was paid for by May Construction on our current site began in December Our first services in the new facilities were held April 1, Construction costs were $3.8 million, of which $3.2 million was financed thru First Georgia Banking Company. The construction loan was closed and converted to a permanent loan in October of The note at that time was a 3 year note with an interest rate of 7.5% for a monthly note payment of $26,489. MBC refinanced the note in May of 2008 with an interest rate of 6.5% maturing in March of 2011 with a monthly payment of $21,589. No closing costs were charged by First Georgia Banking Company with either loan! MBC entered a 3 year capital campaign in March of 2008 entitled What Matters Most to raise funds to retire debt as well as to provide for continued growth. 7
