Finding the right balance Our budget is not about money – its about people, ministry & vision.

FY2018 B Budget - C

• Cont

ntext

— Over the past few years we have been able to balance our

budget through grants, one-off donaIons and our cash reserves – not purely from our congregaIonal giving.

— Recent budgets have been approved on an assumpIon of

increased giving in order to balance the budget, thus maintaining our staff and our current ministry acIviIes.

— Our cash reserves have reduced as a result of the FY2017

shoriall – we need to maintain a minimum level.

— Recent staff changes and review of structure. — Church Council has taken all this into consideraIon in

recommending the proposed FY2018 budget.

FY2018 B Budget O Overview

— Proposing a balanced budget. — Key budget assumpIons: Ø Giving:

Ø Maintain FY2017 annual giving level. Ø No increase but also no decrease, noIng that recent giving levels have

fallen below the proposed FY2018 budget level on a monthly basis. Ø Staffing:

Ø 16% reducIon in total staff hours. Ø 155hrs / week to 130hrs / week Ø FY2018 total staff hours is equivalent to 3.5 full Ime posiIons (a

number of staff are employed on a part-Ime basis) Giving Resources Ministry Transforms Lives

FY2018 B Budget O Overview

— Key budget assumpIons: Ø 10% of congregaIonal giving is allocated to mission outside of

CUC.

Ø For FY2018 the total mission allocaIon is ~$33,000. Once budget is

approved CUC will honour the commitment (ie doesn’t reduce if giving target is not achieved).

Ø Mission giving is directed to Primary & High School Scripture, Rob AsIll

FoundaIon, Ellel Ministries, Hutchings, Castelijns, Assembly of Confessing CongregaIons, UniIng Church (Living is Giving), Presbytery. Ø Other expenses reviewed against FY17 actuals and adjusted

* Includes $5,000 draw down from children’s ministry account.

Risks:

— We have limited cash reserves to top-up any shoriall in

giving against the budget.

— Unable to play “catch-up” if we fall behind from July

• nwards.

Opportuni(es:

— Any giving above budget would:

Ø Resource addiIonal ministry acIviIes. Ø Allow us to re-establish cash reserves. Giving Resources Ministry Transforms Lives

FY2018 B Budget O Overview

• To balance our budget we need:

Ø Giving to be maintained at FY2017 levels (and to increase

from more recent levels)

Ø Consistency of giving to smooth out seasonal drop in

asendance (holiday periods).

• Please conInue to be prayerful about your giving in support of

the variety of ministries at CUC and the fulfilment of our vision. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful

• giver. [2 Corinthians 9:7]
