Finance Committee

The Finance Committee is made up of members of a variety of backgrounds. Some have expertise in financial management; others are church committee chairpersons or representatives; some are on the committee to give the group a broader view of the congregation and community. All take seriously their responsibilities to be good stewards of financial gifts that are given to the church, and to help Centenary best use its financial resources to enable the ministry of Jesus Christ.

The Finance Committee is responsible for:

  • Reviewing and helping the church treasurer handle all bills.
  • Monitoring investment funds
  • Working with committees of the church to fund current needs and future growth.
  • Working closely with the Board of Trustees to fund building needs (both church building and parsonage) and plan for future projects.

 

The committee shall include the pastor, chairperson of the Administrative Council, a lay member of Annual Conference, SPRC chairperson, chairperson of the Stewardship Committee, lay leader, treasurer, financial secretary, representative of the Trustees [selected by the Trustees], church business administrator, and others elected by the Charge Conference.
