We are very intentional about being good stewards of the resources that God has blessed us with at Crossroads.
The Stewardship Ministry Team
Stewardship of our church finances, and the review and approval of major financial decisions and strategies, is the responsibility of our Stewardship Team.
This team is lead by the Executive Pastor and is comprised of church members who have proven expertise in the areas of business and financial planning. The team meets monthly to review financial statements, variance reports, cash flow projections, accounting methods and procedures, and giving trends.
The Stewardship Team prepares a monthly report that is reviewed by the elders and is responsible for the preparation of the annual budget proposal.
The Annual Church Budget
The development of the annual operating budget for Crossroads is a collaborative four-month process that includes the participation of the staff, Leadership Team, Stewardship Team and Elders of the church. Development of the annual budget starts in the spring as the ministry teams identify goals for the upcoming year and establish a preliminary budget to accomplish those goals. The process then proceeds through several review and revision cycles until a final budget proposal is accepted by the Elders. The proposed budget is then presented to the church membership for review and approval. We encourage all of our members to review the annual budget and to be familiar with the church’s finances. Copies of the current operating budget are available upon request from the Accounting Office. Your questions about the Stewardship Ministry Team, budget and church finances are always welcome. Please contact Jack Arney, Executive Pastor, at 858-3080, ext. 312, for questions concerning the budget or finances.
