Budget Proposal

Dear Christ’s Church Family,

Just think, in a world of division, death, and deception, the church is identified as “the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). It cannot get any better than this.

Because we are of divine origin, our mission is “to glorify God by making more and better disciples of Jesus Christ through intentional relationships,” and this is of utmost importance. It requires the faithful stewardship of our time, energy, service, generosity, and His gospel. This brochure provides a summary of our financial projections for the next ministry year (July 2025–June 2026). It reflects our faith and plans for stewarding the financial resources of our disciplemaking objectives. Our budget focus and priorities will continue to support the following eleven ministry objectives and resources:

• Ministry Staff: We support 29 faithful employees (9 full-time, 20 part-time) who assist, administrate, equip, and shepherd our ministry teams and church family.

• Life Groups: We connect our church family into 35+ gospel-oriented communities that encourage one another to become better disciples and disciple-makers.

• The Next Generation: We invest gospel resources in our children, students, and young adults to reach, equip, and deploy future disciplemakers for Christ.

• Service: We provide opportunities for our entire church family to use their spiritual gifts to serve one another in a multiplicity of ways in and outside the church.

• Outreach: We plan gospel events and provide gospel resources that encourage gospel witness to those around us and in our community. We also support 18 local, national, and global missionary partners.

• Discipleship: We seek to become better disciples of Jesus Christ by teaching and applying God’s Word in the context of classes and ministry relationships.

• Leadership Development: We disciple and train gospel-driven difference-makers to lead our church family and ministries to love and serve Christ.

• Biblical Counseling: We equip counselors to capably assist others in finding hope and help in God’s Word to address life’s struggles.

• Building Expansion: We set aside funds for future development of our campus in order to enhance our capability to facilitate future ministry together.

• Church Plant: We are adding $30,000 to our current fund ($250,000) to help launch or relaunch a church in the future as the Lord directs and opens the door.

• Contingencies: We set aside a portion of our contributions to maintain our buildings, aid and assist those in need, and for emergency funding as needed.
