The Finance Committee meets as a group as needed to review and assess the financial needs of the church. This can only be done adequately at year-end when pledges have been made and all debts paid for the closing year. Each committee chair turns in their proposed expenses and projections for the new year and, along with the fixed expenses of the church, we evaluate and make recommendations to develop a balanced spending plan. This plan is brought to the consistory body for debate and approval.
