2023 BUDGET PLAN
In 2022, the budget plan for First Presbyterian Church was $1,926,700, based on commitments made by FPC members for the 2022 campaign and other known income sources. The uses of these funds are represented the the data table and charts on this page. In addition to those funds, our church has additionally received a $90,548 distribution from the Gift Trust Fund (designated for external ministry missions outside our doors), and also $271,370 in designated gifts from members, memorials, and external sources through the end of August 2022, enabling the use of $2,288,618 for the Christian ministries of FPC.
The goal over the coming years is to continue to closely manage the facility and personnel costs, so that increases in giving may be used mostly to expand the Christian ministry of FPC, following the path outlined in FPC’s Vision 2035 study report.
