  1. Proposed 2010 Budget Ss. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church

  2. Why a Budget, Now? • Past financial management has been minimal, short-term & w/o vision: deposit offerings, pay the bills, balance the checkbook, repeat • Need to look past next week; • Mission, vision & goals • Reach beyond our insular community of believers • It’s not just about “us”. • Objective assessment of financial obligations, income capacity • Spend what we have vs raise what we need • Budget is a first cut at where we are & where we can go • Start w/ core items • Very few items are “fixed” • Many are extrapolated from past data • A basis for reviewing progress • Quarterly review & update, not immutable

  3. What’s Not in the Budget • Cookbook: Memorial Fund-restricted expenditures • Sisterhood: Functions independently with its own fundraisers (bake sales, pierogies) • Sunday School/Youth Group: Dedicated fundraisers, Yolka? • Self-sustaining or pass-through activities: • Scholarship • Cemetery • Flowers • Restricted Expenditures: • Requiem Service Fund • Endowment Fund • Memorial Fund • Rectory Fund

  13. Parish Goals (Vision) • Businesses are focused on the “bottom line” • Stockholders interest • Profit/loss sheet • While staying fiscally responsible, we should have a different focus: • Does mission drive the budget, or budget drive the mission? • Sunday Liturgy & private confession, alone? OR is there more to being an Orthodox Christian? • Spread the Gospel • Feed the hungry • Clothe the naked • Look after the sick…

  14. What About Charity? • Should our parish, as a singular entity, pledge to pursue/fund a greater mission? • Active commitment beyond FOS? • OCA appeals • Ad-hoc appeals, e.g., Haitian Relief • Local charitable service • Church growth is spiritual as well as demographic; the former can drive the latter • We need $80,000 to meet basic budget needs • What could we do with $100,000? • Other fund-raising, increased tithing would be required • “With God, all things are possible.”
