Below you will find the final 2017 budget figures.

MSMC has had several years of transitioning which has made budgeting tricky.  We did end the year in the negative. However, I do want you to take note of a few things.  Our congregational support came in at 110% and our investment earnings was 128% of expected. While our other revenue fell short, this is mainly due to not taking as much funds out of our reserves, which ultimately is a good thing.

On the expenses side, our salaries and conference ministry expenses came in well under budget, as did our office and capital expenses.  2017 was a year of travel, which included convention in Florida and lots of inter-conference meetings which caused our “gatherings” portion of the budget to be quite elevated.  Supporting our Missions also went over budget. However, the overages are offset by corresponding income listed under “other revenue.”   Another noteworthy figure is in the box at the bottom; our congregations funneled $58,000 through MSMC to other worthy agencies in 2017.

Thank you to all who give generously and faithfully!
