Council on Finance
& Administration
June, 2010
We celebrate that we received over $16 million
from our local congregations to support district,
conference and general church ministry.
Thank you!
We celebrate that Indiana congregations
generously gave over $1 million to Advance
giving as a United Methodist connection in
Indiana, the United States and the world.
The former North and South conferences
experienced a combined spending deficit in
2009 of $22,190.
CF&A planned for and used undesignated funds
identified from both conferences to cover the
deficit.
Largely due to inefficiency of local PO Box system
implemented in late December.
Resulted in payment of General Church
apportionments at 56% or approximately $3.3
million.
Administratively, we experienced some growing
pains starting in 2010
New staff, new systems and a much larger
group to serve has been both challenging and
rewarding
Original giving process included using local
post-office boxes proved to be inefficient,
unreliable and slow
We continue to make adjustments along the
way to best serve our local congregations in a
way that is both fiscally responsible and caring
2010 marks our first year with one unified
budget as the Indiana Conference
Year-to-date giving indicates that we will meet
our 2010 income expectations

We know that if all of our churches tithe in 2010
we will meet all of our obligations at 100%
We know that minimally we have committed to
paying at least 80% of our General Church
apportionments which will mean approximately
$1.4 million in additional giving in 2010 over
2009
Each church’s portion of our General Church
apportionments is posted on our website.

"BRING THE FULL TITHE INTO THE STOREHOUSE,
SO THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE, AND
THUS PUT ME TO THE TEST, SAYS THE LORD OF
HOSTS; SEE IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF
HEAVEN FOR YOU AND POUR DOWN FOR YOU AN
OVERFLOWING BLESSING." Malachi 3:10
"BUT I SAY TO YOU...GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO
YOU. A GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN
TOGETHER, RUNNING OVER, WILL BE PUT INTO
YOUR LAP; FOR THE MEASURE YOU GIVE WILL BE
THE MEASURE YOU GET BACK."
Luke 6:38
"EARN ALL YOU CAN, SAVE ALL YOU CAN AND GIVE
ALL YOU CAN."
