Financial Report of Ohio Conference ACA 2018 Good morning. Name, member of Stewardship Team.

Planned Uses of Funds Operations $ 329,100. Seminars / Retreats 23,500. Other Services to Congregations 13,150. Denomination Support 14,400. $ 380,150. This presentation condenses the Spending Plan to these four expense categories for a total of $380,150. Now, let’s a look at what is included in each of the four categories.

Planned Uses of Funds A. Operations $ 329,100. Wages, travel, office space expenses & utilities, computers, printing, and fund raising. B. Seminars / Retreats 23,500. C. Others Services to Congregations 13,150. D. Denomination Support 14,400. Operations represent 86% of our Spending Plan. Personnel expenses, including wages and benefits, are 92% of Operations, so let’s look at our Conference staffing levels.

Staffing, FTE’s (Full time equivilents) 17 - 18 Budget 18 – 19 Budget Regional Pastors 1.50 1.00 Conference Minister .50 1.00 Secretary 1.00 1.00 Communication .50 .50 Resource Team Coordinator .25 .25 Treasurer, Flat fee, no benefits Total wages and benefits $ 295,000. $ 303,850. 3% increase, $ There is no change to total FTE staffing from our current to proposed budgets. A shift between the Regional Pastor and Conference Minister positions is the only change as recommended by the Leadership Team. The 3% increase to salaries and benefits follows recommendations for years of service, location, and responsibilities.

Planned Uses of Funds B. Seminars / Retreats $ 23,500. A. Operations 329,100. B. Seminars / Retreats $ 23,500. Pre-ACA Gathered & Sent missional event, all pastor gathering, pastor & lay people seminar, family seminar, pastor retreat, youth worker retreat, pastor wives retreat, retreat for pastor/cong. Leaders, and event for new pastors C. Other Services to Congregations 13,150. D. Denomination Support 14,400. Second expense category Strengthening and encouraging our pastors and congregational leaders through various seminars and retreats with key resource persons provides vitality to congregational life and growth. In addition to the pre-ACA event, in the works, there are 8 seminars and retreats.

Planned Uses of Funds C. Other Congregational Services 13,150. A. Operations $ 329,100. B. Seminars / Retreats 23,500. C. Other Congregational Services 13,150. Healthy boundaries training, Counseling for misconduct, Pastoral assessment and credentialing, Financial Review, Gifts discernment and prayer ministry teams, ACA expenses D. Denomination Support 14,400. Third category We are cognizant for the need for leaders of each congregation be accountable for their social interactions within their congregation and in their communities. Resources are directed for training and potential counseling needs. We as a conference desire to represent ourselves with integrity, maintaining high standards of conduct among all pastors and leaders in each and every congregation. We take credentialing and prayer seriously in this endeavor.

Planned Uses of Funds Denomination Support $ 14,400. A. Operations $ 329,100. B. Seminars / Retreats 23,500. C. Other Congregational Services 13,150. Denomination Support $ 14,400. 5% of congregational giving Denomination support category Accountability, support, and encouragement are not only vital among individuals but also among bodies or entities. The funds extended to MCUSA are not a fixed amount but rather a 5% tithe based upon those supporting congregation’s contributions. Hold the $14,400 in your memory.

Funding Sources Congregations 265,507. 265,150. 300,000. 10 months ‘17 – ’18 ‘18 – ’19 Apr.-Jan. ’18 budget budget Congregations 265,507. 265,150. 300,000. Individuals/other 24,312. 17,900. 35,000. Capital Funds 32,540 71,000. 45,150. 354,050. 380,150. Moving to Funding Sources-- Conference operations are dependent upon income flows from Congregations, individuals, and capital funds as needed. “Other”, includes interest earnings and fees collected from some training events. We are grateful for the responses from congregations and individuals which in 10 months have caused the surpassing of our expectations for the current budget year. The lesser need to draw from capital funds this year reflects the non-hire of the half time Conference Minister.

Funding Sources All Congregations 265,507. 265,150. 300,000. 10 months ‘17 – ’18 ‘18 – ’19 Apr.-Jan. ’18 budget budget All Congregations 265,507. 265,150. 300,000. Supporting MCUSA 253,244. 253,150. 288,000. Non-supporting 12,263. 12,000. 12,000. From the previous slide, congregational giving is represented as supporting and non-supporting groups relative to MCUSA. This slide represents our accountability and respect for those choosing to not participate in the tithe to MCUSA. This group also surpassed the giving expectations this year. Remember the $14,400 I asked you to keep in memory? Under the 2018-2019 budget column on the right, $288,000 times 5% equals $14,400. Any increase or decrease to congregational contributions will change the tithe amount.

Two year giving trend of 53 Congregations 28 Congregations increased their giving by $60,358 or average of $2,157 6 Congregations gave the same amount last year and to date this year 9 Congregations decreased giving from last year to this year by $23,860 4 Congregations were unable to give this year after giving $3,717 last yr. 7 Congregations have not contributed the last two years We are a different conference from just 3 to 4 years ago. This two year trend of 53 congregations who we now are, may provide us insight to our way forward. Congregations represent our best communal support mechanism as a faith community. And we also acknowledge persons within congregations who individually are responding to conference needs. We praise God for those congregations who have maintained or increased their support. We also praise God for many small congregations who experience difficulty in their own financial survival but are willing to remain faithful and desire to be one with us.

Two year giving trend of 53 Congregations ‘17 – ’18 YTD % 28 Congregations with increases $ 203,199. 77 6 Congregations giving same amount 41,915. 16 9 Congregations with decreased giving 20,395. 7 4 Congregations giving last yr, none this yr. 0 7 Congregations unable to give both years 0 $ 265,509. Dollar contributions are added to the five categories identified in the previous slide, and these are 10-month totals, ending January 31, 2018. Percentages on the left represent the total of contributions. Of special note, there are 6 congregations who did not contribute last year in the 28 congregation increase group. These 6 congregations contributed over $10,000 of the $60,358 total increase. It is good that 79% of congregations are able to provide financial support to OC. It’s not over yet. There are still 3 Sundays before the end of OC fiscal year.

Capital Funds Withdrawals (April ‘17 – January ‘18) “Gathered and Sent” initiative (personnel) $ 32,540. Hirsch Missional Conference 7,473. Audio equipment for podcasts 1,029. Brazo en Brazo 3,750. Open Arms 3,750. Ministry Inquiry program 250. Worship workshop at Sonnenberg 650. Grants (6) for Congregational projects 18,050. $ 67,492. As identified earlier on the source of funds slides, capital accounts represent one of those sources. Accountability of the capital funds is represented first by these withdrawals. The first listed withdrawal flowed through “Operations” to fund a half time person for the “Gathered and Sent” initiative. The remaining withdrawals met missional guidelines for direct disbursement. So what is the impact of this activity to Capital Funds?

Capital Funds Balance, January 31, 2018 Earnings (April ‘17 – January ‘18) $ 33,778. Balance, January 31, 2018 Marketable Securities $ 619,926. Cash 12,644. $ 632,570. Accounting for income from dividends and interest along with favorable market movement of investment securities, the January 31, 2018 balance is $632,570. Thank you.
