General Fund
Major contributors to the general fund are weekly offerings, envelope offerings and the Thanksgiving Day offering. This fund is used for salaries and benefits, RCA and Classis assessments, church and parsonage utilities and office supplies. In 2005, the new hymnals were purchased from this fund.
Looking forward, other possible expenditures include a video projection system and updated sound equipment.
