In summary, people want:
- the church and building to be here for the long run;
- the building to be used more extensively for our own purposes as well as for the community;
- information about our finances to help them understand where our money comes from and what it is used for; and
- a focus on children and young people.
- Our top givers provide a disproportional amount of our overall revenue.
- As few as 10 contributors provide as much as 40% of our annual givings.
- In most cases these are elderly contributors and their gifts will not easily be replaced.
- Capital and operating costs are increasing; at times significantly.
- Now, more people do not attend yet contribute, than do attend and contribute.
- Retirees, (our primary volunteers and financial supporters), especially after 80 leave our community (through residential moves or death).
- Church participation has declined and the increasing ages of participants suggest an accelerated decline.
Building Our Best Future
You are invited to a meeting to talk about our future.
Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 1:00 p.m.
We are looking for your ideas about supporting you, staying connected and relevant to you, your children and grandchildren.
We’d love you to think about this before the meeting and come with some ideas about your vision for all of us in the future. To help you think about things here is some interesting information derived over the last couple of years during development of the Pastoral Charge Strategic Plan and St. Andrew’s Every Family Visit.
Data: There is a continuum of people associated with our Pastoral Charge. All of the families along this continuum support the church financially. At opposite ends of the continuum however families have much different perspectives and expectations about what they want and need from the church. This continuum is depicted in the figure below.
