FY2018 B Budget O Obje jectives Finding the right balance Faith & Vision Budget Good Risk Stewards Our budget is not about money – its about people, ministry & vision.

FY2018 B Budget - C - Cont ntext — Over the past few years we have been able to balance our budget through grants, one-off donaIons and our cash reserves – not purely from our congregaIonal giving. — Recent budgets have been approved on an assumpIon of increased giving in order to balance the budget, thus maintaining our staff and our current ministry acIviIes. — Our cash reserves have reduced as a result of the FY2017 shoriall – we need to maintain a minimum level. — Recent staff changes and review of structure. — Church Council has taken all this into consideraIon in recommending the proposed FY2018 budget. Transforms Giving Resources Ministry Lives

FY2018 B Budget O Overview — Proposing a balanced budget. — Key budget assumpIons: Ø Giving: Ø Maintain FY2017 annual giving level. Ø No increase but also no decrease, noIng that recent giving levels have fallen below the proposed FY2018 budget level on a monthly basis. Ø Staffing: Ø 16% reducIon in total staff hours. Ø 155hrs / week to 130hrs / week Ø FY2018 total staff hours is equivalent to 3.5 full Ime posiIons (a number of staff are employed on a part-Ime basis) Transforms Giving Resources Ministry Lives

FY2018 B Budget O Overview — Key budget assumpIons: Ø 10% of congregaIonal giving is allocated to mission outside of CUC. Ø For FY2018 the total mission allocaIon is ~$33,000.

FY2018 B Budget O Overview Risks: — We have limited cash reserves to top-up any shoriall in giving against the budget. — Unable to play “catch-up” if we fall behind from July onwards. Opportuni(es: — Any giving above budget would: Ø Resource addiIonal ministry acIviIes. Ø Allow us to re-establish cash reserves. Transforms Giving Resources Ministry Lives

FY2018 B Budget O Overview • To balance our budget we need: Ø Giving to be maintained at FY2017 levels (and to increase from more recent levels) Ø Consistency of giving to smooth out seasonal drop in asendance (holiday periods). • Please conInue to be prayerful about your giving in support of the variety of ministries at CUC and the fulfilment of our vision. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. [2 Corinthians 9:7]
