Annual Financial Update

The elders provided an encouraging annual financial update to the congregation on Sunday, October 5, including a 2 Year Vision & Focus plan that has been carefully developed over the past few months with input from both the congregation and the community. 

If you have not already, please take a few minutes to listen to the update or review the handout here to catch the vision for where we are moving toward as a church. For more specific details, feel free to review our summary of the budget for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year (which started on September 1st).

We are excited to share a budget that is “balanced” for the first time in three years.  Naturally, this budget will only remain balanced as God works through each of us in our giving. We have budgeted our income this year to be at the same level as we have been giving for the past 6 months, which helps to give us confidence that God will continue to provide for our financial needs.

We have prepared an FAQ document to answer some additional financial questions that you might have.

As always, we value transparency with our finances, and would be happy to provide additional details or answer any other questions, as necessary, and feel free to reach out to elders@cgnortheast.com.

Monthly Financial Update

At just over 1 month into our new Fiscal Year, we are off to a strong start!

Offerings: $53,700 (including several one-time larger gifts)
Expenses: $32,900 (thanks to timing of certain expenses later in the year)

This solid financial foundation gives us confidence as we begin implementing the vision our elders shared. We are excited about the direction God is leading us in!

Hispanic Heritage + Tailgate Party

This coming Sunday, October 26th we’ll close out our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month with a Tailgate Party in the parking lot after the service with the Arepas Food Truck specializing in Arepas.

Arepas are a Venezuelan staple - a small pita made from precooked cornmeal (hello, gluten free!) filled with your favorite savory foods: chicken, pulled pork, shredded beef, black beans, cheese, eggs, bacon and more!

Wear your favorite jersey and plan to stay after the service for fantasic food and fellowship!

Marriage & Couples Fall Retreat

Reconnect with your spouse and connect with other couples through fellowship, worship, and outdoor activities at our annual Fall Retreat!

Attend the full retreat Friday night through Saturday at Bradford Woods, or join us just for the day on Saturday—whatever works best for your schedule. Meals are included, and you'll have plenty of flexibility for one-on-one time together on the grounds.

We don't want anyone to miss out! If you have questions or concerns about payment, transportation, or anything else, please contact us at marriage@cgnortheast.org.
