6 Annual Elder Leadership Team Report Dear Church Membership, On behalf of the members of the Elder Leadership Team (E.L.T.), I would like to thank you for allowing us to serve Calvary Bible Church this past year - a year of many changes. It has been, and continues to be, our sincere and humble prayer as Elders that we would honor God in all that we do, and that He would bless Calvary Bible Church and use it to further His Kingdom. For those who may wonder what exactly an Elder is and what we are called to do, perhaps this will be helpful: Elders are called to be Shepherd leaders who protect, feed, lead, and care for the church flock. This simplified description is derived from the book entitled Biblical Eldership by Alexander Strauch, which our E.L.T. studied in depth this past year. As individuals, and as a team, we are attempting to apply the Biblical principles of Elder leadership in every discussion we have and decision we make, realizing the incredible responsibility that we shoulder. To that end, we sincerely covet your prayers. The numerous discussions and decisions made by the E.L.T. this past year covered the gamut from approving the hiring of a new Worship Pastor and Children s Ministries director to revising the CBC Operations Manual and assessing the church budget. The E.L.T. meets twice a month, and, as of August 9 th, the first of the two monthly sessions is completely devoted to prayer, thanks to the wise suggestion of Kent Scott. The second monthly session is devoted to furthering the Lord s vision for Calvary Bible Church, and ensuring the good stewardship of the many resources He has provided us. Additionally, the E.L.T. meets for two extensive planning sessions in spring and fall. At this time, and in accord with our By-laws, the Elder Leadership Team has a total of nine members and is currently comprised of three pastors and six laymen. In 2012, E.L.T. members were: Pastor Don Bertrand, Jim Childress, Pastor Ted Duncan, Daran Francis (Vice President), Kent Scott, Terry Treiberg (Treasurer), Pastor Steve Truitt, Don VanSickel (President), and Dan Vaughn (Secretary). Each of us is humbled and grateful to serve each of you as an Elder here at Calvary Bible Church. May the Lord be glorified in all that is done here. In His Service, Don VanSickel Page 4 of 11

7 Annual Senior Pastor Repost When I look back over this past year, the first thing that stands out to me is that it has been a year of major changes in our church staff; more so than in any other of the twenty-two years Marge and I have been here at Calvary Bible Church. It all started last year when Team Boston (comprised of many of our key staff members) departed to start a new ministry in Bean Town. And they were followed at the first of this year by Mark and Dawn Merical who resigned to begin a new chaplaincy ministry back East as well. Several support staff members also stepped down for various legitimate reasons, so by the end of the year, we had our work cut out for us. God, in His abiding faithfulness, has supplied just the right people in virtually all the spots left vacant, and we stand amazed at His divine provision. Troy and Shay Hess actually came on-board last year and have proved to be a godsend to our student ministries. Last spring, we welcomed Annette Mulligan as head of our children s ministry, and in the summer, Elaine Fidler was added to assist her in S.A.Y. Yes and other children s outreach endeavors. Those two ladies have added great life and creativity into that vital ministry. In June, Rob and Angela Tompkins came to revitalize our music and worship ministry and what a blessing they have been! To fill those vacant clerical positions, the Lord has given us Mindy Tharp, Gina Resnicke, and Diana Kane; and those ladies have more than filled the gaps that were there. The only remaining vacancy is perhaps the most important of all: that of Assistant Pastor in charge of Family Ministries. We thought we had it filled when we called Pastor Joe Drullard and his family, but his unexpected resignation in March put us back into the search mode. We had a candidate in August in Clarke Brogger, but our leadership team agreed unanimously that he just wasn t the right person to lead our church into the future when I step down from being the Senior Pastor. But now, at the close of the year, we are excited about the list of potential candidates we are considering for that position. And we are optimistic that the Lord will make the right person known to us real soon so we will be able to start the New Year with a complete staff, which will serve Him and His church together for many years to come. But, with all that said, what impresses me most about this past year is the sovereign love of our God and the faithfulness of His people. So many staff changes in one year would have run most churches on the rocks or out of business altogether. But our ministry has continued on without serious incident. In fact, we are seeing such amazing spiritual fruit in our ministries right now, we can only say, To God be the glory; great things He has done! I and our leadership teams here at CBC want to express our deepest appreciation to all of you for your love and steadfastness through these trying times. We re trusting the Lord for even greater things in the years to come, and we thank you in advance for your faithful participation and generous support. God s richest blessings on you all, Ted Duncan, Senior Pastor Page 5 of 11

8 Business Administrator Mark Rutkoskie Andrew Murray states, referencing Matt. 9:37-38, in a book of his best devotionals, Churches complain about the lack of workers and of funds to meet the needs of reaching out to the world. Christ calls us to united, unceasing prayer. God is faithful, by the power of His Spirit, to supply every need. This financial report reflects the prayer and heart of Calvary Bible Church in the midst of our nation s economic challenges. We are not without our own challenges, but you, our members have been faithful in your tithes and offerings so that we have met our needs. The joint effort and support of the office staff, pastors, elder members and the finance committee made this report possible; their assistance is greatly appreciated. Attendance and Giving: Average attendance for first service has held steady for the past year compared to 2011, however, second service has accounted for a 6.59% drop in our overall attendance to an average of 621. While many churches, especially on the west coast, have had to reduce staff and budgets over the last three years, our total giving for 2012 is slightly higher than 2011, as of October 31, but was lower than what we anticipated compared to our expenditure needs. Those needs were reduced by the various staffing gaps during the past year referenced in Pastor Ted s report, which enabled us to maintain a positive cash flow. General funding, which meets the internal expenses of the church (salaries, programs and activities, facility and administrative costs) for the coming year will need to be sustained at the projected 2012 level with a slight increase. Financial Statements: The attached reports show the financial position, revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 & 2011 and the ten months ended October 31, The following is a simple cash recap for the December 31, 2011 and October 31, 2012 periods: 12/31/ /31/2012 Total Revenue $ 2,173,596 $ 1,834,477 Less: Transfers from restricted funds (17,024) (28,302) Less: Total Expenses before Capital Expenses (2,142,876) (1,742,168) Net Revenue over Expenditures 13,696 64,007 Less: Debt (Manor) reduction, Interest & Capital outlays (124,489) (76,535) Add(Less): Net Change in non cash assets & liabilities 48,521 (18,378) Net decrease in cash funds (62,272) (30,906) Beginning Cash Balance at January, 1 164, ,298 Ending Cash Balance for Period 102,298 71,392 Cash balances include designated funds that have been designated for specific purposes such as future missions, programs, events and capital funds, which are not always fully spent in the year collected and carry over to cover expenditures in subsequent years. These funds and their activity are reflected in the designated columns in the reports on pages 9 & 10. Page 6 of 11

9 Capital Projects: The following capital projects have been completed to date: 1. Various-furnishings and equipment $ 4, Tent for Junk-a-tique 13, Re-carpet chapel classroom & replace ice machine 5, Complete improvements to children s theater 1, Replace stolen golf cart (net of insurance) 3, Various equipment and IT improvements 1,806 Total 2012 $ 29,205 The preliminary capital needs in the 2013 budget are as follows: 1. IT (Computers, etc) and facility equipment $ 8, Various-furniture and remodeling needs 15,400 Total 2013 $ 23,900 Additional capital projects that will be considered when funds are available and cost estimates have been obtained are painting the exterior stucco of the activities center and children s building and the possibility of installing a solar system. God continues to bless Calvary Bible Church because of our commitment to missions and outreach to the less fortunate in our community and the world. So far this year missions and outreach as a percentage of tithes and offerings plus designated gifts of $343,000 was 29.7%. However, a word of caution much of the work that contributes to our ability to provide the funds and work to the harvest field is from the internal ministry of Calvary Bible Church (salaries, programs that equip, facility and administrative costs). Meeting those needs will enable us to continue fulfill God s heart for missions and the less fortunate. In closing let me share a concept that we recently learned at a training workshop: Focused Intensity, over time, multiplied by God = Unstoppable Momentum! Yours in Christ, Mark Rutkoskie Page 7 of 11
