For those interested in our church’s financial planning journey, and unable to attend our congregational session, the information below offers a high-level summary of our recent presentation on the Long Range Base Case Financial Plan. This session provided an overview of our current financial health and outlined key insights that will guide our strategic planning.
Key Highlights:
