Partnership Formula Update Neal Meitler Partnership Committee Chair Board of Directors, LHSAGM Partnership Formula Proposed Changes

This group consists of Level 1 congregations that were among the original founders and longtime supporters of the LHSA. This group has a heart for the mission but has experienced so much membership and financial decline that they, at present, are unable to provide financial support to the Association and, for the most part, are able to only pay local bills.

Emeritus

These congregations will be entitled to emeritus status, will no longer be sent monthly invoices by the Association, can send member children to the Association schools at the Association reduced tuition rate, will be invited to attend Delegate meetings, but will not have a vote in the Delegate Assembly.

9/11/13 4

Emeritus status congregations are invited and encouraged to support the LHSA with their gifts and prayers as the Lord blesses.

Current Level 1 Previous Level 1 Benediction Bethlehem Bethany Emmaus Christ Memorial Gospel Hope Holy Ghost Mission of Christ

• St. Martini

Congregations

This group consists of congregations that have a stewardship commitment whereby they tithe 10% or more of “home purpose receipts” for missions (works outside of the congregation) and where the LHSA is given 50% or more of the tithe on a monthly basis.

Tithing Congregations

These congregations will have full voting rights in the Association and member children will have access to our high schools at the Association reduced tuition rate.
