Diocesan Trends 6

Average Sunday Attendance Declining by 2% per year 7 7

More of Our Congregations Are Small, Family-Sized, with Average Sunday Attendance Less Than 75 225-400 225-400 4% 3% 140-224 140-224 13% 18% 1-74 ASA 1-74 ASA 42% 59% 75-139 25% 75-139 36% 8 8

Most Congregations Cannot Afford Full ‐ Time Clergy • Full ‐ time Clergy Cost is $100,000 ‐ $130,000* per year • Average Pledge in the Diocese is Approximately $2,000 • This Requires 50 – 65 Pledges to Afford a Full ‐ Time Clergy • Currently 43 of 108 Congregations Do Not Have Full ‐ Time Clergy * Actual cash cost for full ‐ time clergy depends on housing situation (church or clergy ‐ owned), medical insurance (family, single, etc.) and other items. 9 9

Giving to The Episcopal Church 17 17

2012 Congregational Pledge Status 18

2012 Congregational Pledge Process • Analysis of past giving highlights two issues: – Median giving to Diocese is 10% – Congregations have used different ways of computing operating income on which pledges are based • Approach: – Move to uniform definition and use of Normal Operating Income as base – The “Ask” of congregations • If 2011 pledge was at or above 10% ‐ increase pledge by 0.5% • If 2011 pledge was below 10% ‐ move half ‐ way to 10.0% • Stewardship MUST BE a year ‐ round discipline 19 19

Status of 2012 Pledges • 93 congregations have submitted 2012 pledge – Pledge Percentage • 32 Increased their pledge for 2012 • 15 Decreased their pledge for 2012 – Normal Operating Income • 31 Estimate higher NOI in 2012 • 49 Estimate lower NOI in 2012 – Pledge Dollars • 39 Expect higher pledge dollars in 2012 • 40 Expect lower pledge dollars in 2012 20 20

Status of 2012 Pledges • Of the 93 congregations that have submitted 2012 pledges – Median Pledge Percentage: 10.0% • Same as 2011 Pledge Percentage – Median Normal Operating Income (NOI): $144,000 • A decrease of 5% from $152,000 in 2011 – Total Dollars Pledged for 2012 Approximates Actual Pledges Paid in 2011 21 21
