2021 Budget Membership Vote 會友大會

Sorry, registration is not available at this time.

On Sunday, 11/29, at 8 pm, there will be a zoom Q&A meeting on the 2021 budget for anyone who is interested in learning more about the budget. If you cannot make it, we will email the recording out to our members afterwards.

如果想對此議案有更多的了解,無論您是否是會友,我們都歡迎您參加11月29日(週日)晚8點舉行的網上「問答會」 (會議Zoom 鏈接) 。


A membership vote to confirm the 2021 budget is a process required by our church bylaws. This process is not a popularity vote, but an affirmation of the Spirit’s leading in our congregation. The staff, pastoral, and church councils recommend our members vote for the motion. Your vote represents your confidence in our council and staff’s leadership. According to our church bylaws, a motion shall be considered carried when supported by more than two-thirds of eligible votes. Every vote counts, and we urge all members to participate. We recommend you avoid choosing “abstain.” Thank you for your love and support for our church.

會員投票印證2021年度預算案是教會章程規定的程序。它不是一般的 投票,而是會友在聖靈的引導下,對教牧和長執們推薦的議案來印 證。您的參與行動表明您對長執及教牧團隊的信任。 根據教會的程序,會友大會議案須經有效投票總數三分之二以上同意 才視為通過,因此,每張選票都是寶貴的。我們敦促每位會員都積極 參與投票,並且建議您盡量不要選擇“保留”選項。感謝您對教會的 關愛和支持﹗

Departments 2021 Budget 2020 Budget Change (%)
General Operations $2,323,187 $2,112,816 +10%
Global Ministries $569,038 $580,945 -2%
Capital Reserve Build Up $0 $305,842 -100%
Total $2,892,225 $2,999,603 -4%

A few noteworthy observations for this budget:

  • General Operations: As we look forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary as a church in 2021, we will be launching a new 5-year vision, and strengthening our online ministries as we look to reconnect with one another.  The budget increase represents additional interns and staff to prepare for future transition, and to increase our capacity to host a hybrid of in-person and virtual ministries.
  • Global Ministries: There is a minor adjustment to the global ministry budget, but we are grateful that the budget still represents 20% of the new annual budget and includes the budget for commissioning new global partners next year, as we continue to bring the Gospel to the unreached. 
  • Capital Reserve Build Up: In light of an uncertain year, we decided to hold off on building up our capital reserve in 2021 and instead, use our existing reserves to fund our planned capital projects, many of which were deferred in 2020 due to COVID-19. We praise God for His faithful provision over the years through your generosity to be able to have cash reserves for times like this.

Please keep the 2021 budget in your prayers and let us finish the year strong with our faithful and generous giving in support of the continual growth of W. Starting Sunday, 11/22, online voting to confirm the budget will be open. On Sunday, 11/29, at 8 pm, there will be a zoom Q&A meeting on the 2021 budget for anyone who is interested in learning more about the budget. Please submit your online vote by 12 am, Monday, 12/7. May the Lord’s will be done in our midst as we continue to be a faithful and fruitful church!

項目 2021年 2020年 增減比例 (%)
經常費 $2,323,187 $2,112,816 +10%
普傳事工 $569,038 $580,945 -2%
場地建設儲備金(儲備基金) $0 $305,842 -100%
總預算 $2,892,225 $2,999,603 -4%

有關2021年預算的說明:

  • 經常費:2021年,教會將慶祝成立30週年、開啟新的5年異象、加強網絡事工以重建彼此連接。我們計劃為未來的交接加添實習生與教牧同工,並增強網絡事工和實體事工並行的能力。
  • 普傳事工:普傳事工經費有一些小幅度的調整,但普傳事工經費仍然佔新年度預算的20%。這包括明年差遣新普傳夥伴的費用,繼續將福音傳給未得之民。 
  • 場地建設儲備金:鑒於各種不確定因素,我們決定明年暫不增加儲備金。從現有的儲備金中撥款來完成2020年因疫情而推遲的場地建設項目。感恩大家的慷慨奉獻,使得教會在現時的情況下,仍有現金儲蓄。

請大家為此議案禱告,並繼續藉着信心,以慷慨奉獻支持教會成長,為今年劃上圓滿的句號。會友印證2021年預算議案的投票將於11月22日凌晨開始至12月6日午夜截止,請大家盡早完成投票。如果想對此議案有更多的了解,無論您是否是會友,我們都歡迎您參加11月29日(週日)晚8點舉行的網上「問答會」 (會議Zoom 鏈接) 。願主的心意成全在我們當中。
