Financial Update
Overview
The Lord has abundantly blessed us with the resources necessary to support the ministries and further the mission of Faith Community Church. What follows is a testament to His steadfast faithfulness, evident in the generosity and committed stewardship of our congregation.
The following reports cover the full fiscal year of 2024 and the first half (June YTD) of 2025. The financial picture reflected in these two periods highlights our transition from building completion to building occupancy.
In early 2026, we intend to publish a robust annual report for the full 2025 fiscal year. In the mean time, we trust that this update will not only inform you, but that it will also deepen your gratitude to the Lord and encourage your ongoing support of His work in and through the local church.

Financial Reports
2024
In 2024, our congregation gave generously to the General and Building Funds while also supporting missions and contributing to meet benevolence needs in our church and community. By maintaining our operating expenses at a minimum, we achieved a remarkable net income at year-end, allowing us to successfully complete our building, meet all code requirements, and even enhance certain interior features that we initially anticipated would need attention post-occupancy.

Combined General and Building Fund giving saw a 13.7% year over year increase in 2024.
Administrative & Other Expenses comprised a small percentage (17%) of our 2024 budget.
2025
Throughout the first half of 2025, we’ve gradually adjusted to the unique financial demands of occupying a new building. Operating expenses have naturally risen, and ministry expenses peaked in the summer months, coinciding with camps, mission trips, and other summer activities. Given that 60% of our revenue from regular giving comes in the last few months of the year, it’s not surprising that we’re showing an operating loss through June 2025. Despite these challenges, witnessing the building fully utilized by all the church ministries has been a profound blessing and a source of immense joy!

Building Fund giving is currently a lower percentage of our 2025 total YTD income. However, year over year, General Fund giving has increased (see below).
Administrative and Other Expenses include all new operating costs for our building and represent the only category of expenses that have materially increased in 2025.
2024 vs. 2025
The additional charts below provide some helpful comparative data pertaining to personnel costs, General Fund giving, and average weekly attendance. Given the anticipated increase in our building expenses this year, our personnel expense budget remained essentially unchanged. However, if attendance trends persist, we anticipate the need for additional administrative personnel in the near future.
Looking ahead…
As we look to the future, we are planning for additional enhancements to our campus and facilities that will better serve our congregation and the ministries of our church. It is an exciting season of growth, so let’s continue to pray for wisdom and faithful stewardship of all the Lord provides.
Activity Field Grading & Sod
We have plans to grade and sod the spacious activity field on the east side of our property.
Park & Playground
Concepts are being developed for a landscaped park and playground area near the basketball court.
Enhanced Sound System
The A/V plans in the sanctuary call for a hanging speaker array that will enhance the overall sound quality in that space.
