In our denomination, the United Church of Christ, the financial foundation of our churches are the gifts we receive from members and friends.

Your estimates of what you can give each year are the most essential part of the overall church budget.  Annual gifts make up more than three-quarters of South Church’s annual operating income.

Our committees and ministry teams build our budget with a focus on fulfilling our mission. Prior to presenting a new budget, the Budget committee, made up of the Treasurer, the Moderator, members of the Trustees and the Pastor, prepares a budget for review by the congregation. The church budget is then presented to the members of the church for final approval at our annual meeting.
