Giving is voluntary
No required tithe, membership fee, fundraising quota, or pressure. Scripture calls for willing generosity.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:7
PUBLIC STEWARDSHIP
Open books.
Open hearts.
If people entrust resources to the assembly, they should know how those resources are received, protected, and used.
01 / OUR CURRENT FINANCIAL STATUS
Nothing hidden.
Nothing invented.

When a fund is established, this page will publish real dated reports.

|---|---|---|---|
| No verified transactions have been published. | |||
Reports will show categories and totals; identifiable donor and recipient details will remain private. Public expense names and descriptions can be corrected by finance administrators. The original bank transaction remains unchanged, and corrections to published reports are logged publicly. This is not disclosure of anyone's personal financial information.
PUBLISHED MONTHLY STATEMENTS
Know how resources
are being used.
Monthly summaries show funds received and spent by category, plus opening and closing balances. Only reviewed reports are published. Individual donor identities, names of households receiving assistance, and uploaded bills are never included.
Reviewed monthly statements will appear here when they are available.
PRACTICAL CARE · PRIVACY FIRST
Help given.
Lives respected.
When our community pays essential household bills for members in need, those expenses will appear in reviewed financial reports. We show totals and the number of payments, not recipients’ names, addresses, utility account numbers, or private documents.
Assistance bills paid (latest published month)Not reportedExternally paid and confirmed by two administrators
Assistance provided (latest published month)Not reportedRecorded payment amount
Stripe Checkout receives donations; it does not itself pay arbitrary utility bills. Until an eligible payment system is connected, a finance administrator pays the provider directly, and a second administrator records the confirmation. Public records are published after reconciliation.
02 / OUR PROPOSED STEWARDSHIP POLICY
Every dollar
has a purpose.
Care before overhead
Prioritize practical help, discipleship needs, and shared gatherings. Rent a space only when necessary, rather than carry a mortgage.
ACTS 4:34–35 · JAMES 2:15–17
More than one set of eyes
Use documented approvals, two-person oversight, routine reconciliation, and periodic independent financial review.
2 CORINTHIANS 8:20–21
Paid ministry is not forbidden.
Scripture recognizes support for those who teach and serve (1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Timothy 5:17–18). We propose starting with volunteers and disclosing any compensation, reimbursements, or related-party payments if those arise.

04 / BIBLICAL BASIS
Stewardship is
an act of trust.
2 Corinthians 8:20–21 describes taking care to handle a gift honorably, in the sight of both the Lord and people. Acts 6:1–6 shows the early believers organizing practical care when needs were being overlooked. These passages shape our approach; they do not specify modern bookkeeping software or a mandatory reporting format.
