BUDGET PROPOSAL For 2022

The Pastor and the Finance Committee are recommending the 2022 budget that is provided for your review. A great deal of work, prayer and discussion occurred while preparing the proposed 2022 budget.

When you look at the proposed 2022 budget, please understand that it is a financial plan that will be used to guide and manage spending throughout 2022. If incoming budget receipts throughout the year do not support the proposed budget, spending will be adjusted as required. If budget receipts exceed the proposed budget, the excess could be used to increase the church’s operating reserve, create a capital fund for church repairs and renovation, reduce church debt and fund additional church ministry activities. 

Safeguards monitored by the Business Administrator, Accounting Manager and Finance Committee are built into the spending procedures that keep expenditures aligned with the overall annual budget. Historically, giving (budget receipts) is usually under budget during the first half of the year, then it catches up during the second half of the year, and by year-end the total giving (budget receipts) should equal or exceed the total budget. When preparing the proposed 2022 budget, a great deal of effort was put forth to align the 2022 budget with a conservative 2022 total giving amount. The 2022 budget total is $6,199,867 which is based on weekly budget receipts of $119,228.

If you have questions on the 2022 budget, there are several ways to obtain answers. You can email your questions to Bob Fredrickson at bob@willowbrook.org or you can send him an email requesting a time to have a phone conversation or to meet with him at the church (either campus).

The 2022 budget will be presented to the church for approval by way of a member vote in a business meeting to occur on Wednesday, November 3rd starting promptly at 7:30 PM. Church members will be able to participate in the business meeting at the Huntsville Campus (Bailey Cove location) and at the Madison Campus (Jeff Road location). The business meeting moderator will be at the Huntsville Campus and will be live-streamed to the Madison Campus. The member vote will occur on both campuses at the same time and the outcome of the church-wide vote will be provided.
