Funding Consultation

Representatives from all sixteen presbyteries, the Synod of the Trinity, and the General Assembly gathered in Bedford, Pennsylvania, on September 30 for a two-day governing body funding consultation.  The purpose of the consultation was to build relationships and partnerships among the governing bodies in supporting mission.

Each of the presbyteries made presentations related to mission challenges and needs.  Synod representatives presented information on the new structure, priorities, programs, designated funds, and the projected budget for 2004 and 2005.  The General Assembly representative, Kathy Luckert, presented some of the issues and challenges confronting the General Assembly.

Participants engaged in discussion groups related to developing principles and guidelines for funding and suggestions for how the new Synod system can more effectively serve needs and missions of the presbyteries.
