Budget Proposal

Dear Christ’s Church Family,

Dear Christ’s Church Family,

Jesus said, “He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much” (Luke 16:10). That is a great definition for stewardship, and we want to be faithful with the planning, management, and care of resources the Lord has entrusted to us.

As Christ followers, we learn that life, time, and possessions are entrusted to us by God to be managed for the greater mission to “glorify God by making more and better disciples of Jesus Christ through intentional relationships.” This brochure is designed to reflect a summary of our financial projections and its stewardship for the next ministry year (July 2026—June 2027). Your ongoing investment will continue to support the following eleven ministry objectives and resources:

• Ministry Staff: We support 25 faithful employees (9 full-time, 16 part-time) who assist, administrate, equip, and shepherd our ministry teams and church family.

• Life Groups: We connect our church family into 34 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 disciple-makers 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 instructional classes and ministry relationships.

• Leadership Development: We strive to raise up and train 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 challenging struggles.

• Building Expansion: We continue to set aside funds for future development of our campus in order to enhance our ability and capacity to facilitate future ministry together (to date $3,733,191).

• Church Plant: We will add another $30,000 to our current fund ($322,000) 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.

Thank you for being faithful and generous givers to the Lord’s disciplemaking effort.

We are so thankful for those who actively support our disciplemaking mission. When you give, your financial gifts support our General Fund, which provides for all of our operating and ministry needs (e.g., personnel, missions, ministry programming, aid and assistance, campus maintenance, future building expansion, and replacement & maintenance). Any additional needs and offerings will be communicated in advance to our church family as opportunities to give above and beyond the General Fund support (e.g., Fusion Summer Mission, Christmas Missionary Offering, etc.).

If you have any questions, you can direct them to Mac Hoover, our Business Administrator, Ben Gillihan, the Chairman of the elders, or me. Let’s pray that the Lord will use our gospel witness and mutual ministry investment to honor Him and expand His kingdom.
