BUDGET VALUES
FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
We believe in the importance of financial sustainability, because what that means is ongoing impact and ministry for decades. This budget has been made to ensure that the important, vital, and necessary impact and programs here at Bethany continue for the foreseeable future. In making this year’s budget we have sought to ensure that our program, people, and church community can continue to depend on this being a place where they receive hope, care, and experience the reality of Jesus.
POSITIONING FOR IMPACT
With this budget, we have also made decisions to prioritize for impact. We know the absolute importance of the ministry here at the church, and so we have prioritized investing in the areas where people experience the most growth, change, and care. We believe in being a caring community to a hurting world, and we believe in changing the world here in Niagara. This means practically that in allocating our funds we are allocating them towards life change with Jesus and because of Jesus.
THE
BUDGET
Our budgeting has remained very fiscally conservative, projecting a slight decrease in donation levels to our previous year. We invite you to partner with us financially because when you give here you are a part of people experiencing and encountering Jesus. This is why we continue to budget conservatively and be grateful for every dollar given that goes to supporting ministries where care, life, love, hope, and most of all Jesus is found.
