Grace’s Projected 2027 Expenses by Ministry Areas

Give to Build a Sustainable Future

Grace continues to move toward greater financial stability, but there is more work to do.

This year, we are filling the gap between income and expenses through the generosity of our community. Our successful Amazing Grace Dinner netted more than $50,000, and we anticipate drawing approximately $20,000 from our operating reserves. We have also used restricted capital funds for the new sound system and other capital projects.

Our current operating expense budget is more than $850,000. As the cost of clergy, staff, ministry, and maintaining our buildings and grounds continues to rise, we expect the 2027 budget to be even higher.

Our goal is to raise $850,000 through pledges for 2027. Additional income from the plate and facility rentals, along with a planned withdrawal from operating reserves, will provide the remaining support needed.

Your pledge is an important part of creating a financially sustainable future for Grace and ensuring that our ministries can continue to thrive.

Thank you for your generosity and faithful stewardship of Grace.
