Giving up, Spending down ... God blessed us in the midst of a recession.


The trustee's of Christ's Church met this week and reviewed the budget for 2010 and planned out the budget for 2011. God has blessed us in that our giving this year exceeded our projections by almost $5000 and our spending was less than what we had projected. Christ's Church has always met it's budget due to the generous giving of other churches and individuals. After almost two years, we are very close to being self supporting. With the addition of a few more families we hope to be self supporting in 2011 but this will be a challenge due to a 52% increase in our weekly rent at the Franklin Community High School.

When that day comes, God willing, we will immediately begin to redirect funds to another church plant. Our goal is to not just be a new church but be a new church that helps plant other new churches. Pray that God will continue to bless us and provide us the means to bless others.

Advance the Kingdom of Christ: Help plant new churches.
