À propos de cet audio
Ever wondered how a church with a $2.4 million budget and 28 dedicated staff members keeps everything running with integrity and transparency? In this episode, Revs. Daniel Kanter and T. J. Fitzgerald break down how our church's finances really work — from pledges and balanced budgets to collective generosity and community trust.
What you'll learn:
How the annual budget is built from member pledges
Why the board and ministers must pass a balanced budget before it goes to a congregational vote
What makes our financial system "clean" — no rollovers, no surprises
The power of pledging: why every contribution matters
How online members and friends help sustain our shared mission
Why annual audits and full transparency build lasting trust
Every good work we do together — every service, program, and outreach — begins with your pledge. Join us for a conversation about faith, finances, and the collective power of generosity.
