General Fund
SHBC’s Annual Budget is approved by congregational vote at our Annual July Congregational Meeting. All giving goes to this fund by default unless otherwise designated. Please consider giving to this fund on a consistent basis as it includes all the general operations of our church such as:
- Facilities (11% – heat, lights, general maintenance, etc.)
- Administration (5% – office supplies, technology, etc.)
- Missions (19% – regular support to our 20 missionary families
- Ministries (10% – all ministries of the church)
- Staff Salaries (55%)
- General Fund Reserve This builds when spending is less than expenses
Designated Funds
These are Funds that are self- funded and not included in our General Fund or Annual Budget. As the Lord leads, please consider giving to these Funds above and beyond your regular giving to the General Fund.
- “Deacons’ Fund” (Our benevolence fund to help people financially within our church)
