At the Annual Meeting of St. John’s in January 2010, a resolution was passed to form and charge a Challenge ministry team to help the congregation meet its financial challenge over the next three years (creating a sustainable and balanced budget that now includes debt service for the addition). The Challenge Team has been formed and is working in partnership with the Congregation Council to formalize its charge and a workplan in preparation for a special congregational meeting mid-year to review the congregation’s operational, programmatic and financial plans.
Members of the committee include: Mike Berthelsen (chair), Bob Gelle, Wil Brosz, Cheryl Buck, Marilyn Raadt, Terrence Hassanally, Tim Eklund, Michael Sylvester, and Dave Neuger. The Challenge Team will be working to share with you what they are learning and thinking. We ask you to contact us as well with your thoughts and ideas.
