Budget 2010Our 2010 expenditure budget is £539,000. Approximately 90% of our 2010 costs, £483,000, must be met through Voluntary Giving and the associated Gift Aid. The balance, £56,000, will come from our only other income sources; Connection Magazine advertising revenue and limited numbers of lettings of the spare capacity of the Church premises. Where will the money go?Mission Partner Support Our Mission budget enables us to support 18 Mission Partners across the globe and provides a contingency from which we respond to specific needs and causes during the year. It is calculated as a tithe-and-a-half (15%) of our voluntary giving in 2009; a sum in excess of £72,000. Stephen, Francis and the Parish Share Each Parish pays a share of the total Guildford Diocesan budget. The Diocese then provides a range of services to Church of England churches, pays clergy stipends (Stephen’s and Francis’) and funds incumbent’s accommodation. Our share in 2010 amounts to £119,000. Ro and Adult Ministry Monies are required to support the development of our Adult Ministries; evangelism, training, small groups, etc. and to pay Ro’s stipend and accommodation (recharged directly to Christ Church through the Diocesan payroll). We have a budget of £61,000. Tim and Student Ministry Student Ministry monies fund campus outreach, literature distribution, hospitality and transportation costs and meet Tim’s pastoral expenses and salary. The 2010 budget is modest at £31,000 in large part because Tim is currently house-sitting, negating accommodation costs. Andy and Youth Ministry Andy has 94 teenagers on his books and actively engaged in our thriving Youth Ministry. Investing in their growth through weekly activities and special events together with meeting Andy’s salary and accommodation costs in 2010 totals £48,000 or just £10 per week per teenager! Suzanne and Children’s Ministry Our Children’s Ministry activities include not only our Sunday Clubs but also School Lunch Clubs, Champions, two weekly Mother & Toddler groups and activities such as Holiday Clubs and Praise Parties. Total costs in 2010, including Suzanne’s salary are in the order of £44,000. Colin, Lesley and Church Management Colin and Lesley, assisted by some fantastic volunteers, manage the day-to-day administration, operations and financial affairs of the Church and strive to make it a safe and welcoming environment for ministry and other activities. Costs in 2010 amount to £69,000. Running Costs, Parish Magazine and other expenses Our many running costs include gas, electricity, water, insurance, routine maintenance, cleaning, minibus, etc. We also incur production costs for Connection Magazine, distributed to over 2,900 homes every month and a significant outreach tool; these costs are recovered in advertising revenue. Total operating costs in 2010 amount to £67,000. Christ Church, Virginia Water is a registered charity, number 1128275 |
