2023 Missions Budget Update

For those of you who missed the Annual Meeting, the approved 2023 Missions Budget anticipates a substantial increase of $266K, or 15.9%, in congregational giving this year. The increase is due to long-planned, additional funding for PSC missionaries to various parts of Asia and the Middle East, and continuing outreach through City Engagement. The illustration below provides a summary of the need.

The 2023 Ministry & Operations Budget anticipates a more modest increase in congregational giving of $141K, or 4.6%.
