GPC Budget Facts Did you know . . .
• that Georgetown Presbyterian Church spends about $156 per member (or $62,400 annually) to keep the lights on, water flowing and heat/air conditioning running.
• that Georgetown Presbyterian spends $45 per member (or $18,000 annually), to insure ourselves from property damage and liability.
• that Georgetown Presbyterian Church spends about $134 per member (or $53,000 in 2011) to keep our historic, and aging, property in good repair.
• that Georgetown Presbyterian Church spends about $330 per member for all the elements of our music program, from organ maintenance to musicians and sheet music. Although part of this expense is covered from bequests, the total of approximately $132,000 per year is what it takes to be blessed week after week with music that pleases our ears and deepens our experience during worship.
• that every year Georgetown Presbyterian Church spends almost $78 per member (or $31,000), on copier expenses, paper, postage, cleaning supplies, and other incidental expenses that keep us operating in a manner we all appreciate.
• that Georgetown Presbyterian Church supports the theological education of future ministers by contributing $4,500 per year, or about $11 per GPC member, to Presbyterian theological seminaries? It is just another way we support and stay connected to the Presbyterian Church beyond Georgetown.
• Although many of us appreciate the ease of electronic transactions for our contributions to Georgetown Presbyterian Church, we often forget that Georgetown Presbyterian is charged a small fee by banks to process these convenient payments. Although the cost of each transaction is small, we spend about $4,000 per year, or about $10 per member, for this convenience. Please keep this in mind and pledge generously for 2012.
• and, although we sometimes take for granted that good food fuels the soul during worship and fellowship, each year Georgetown Presbyterian Church spends $7,000, or $18 per member, to support Lunch and Punch Bunch, and provide coffee and snacks for myriad activities.
These items may seem mundane, but sometimes we forget about what is required to operate a church. Please keep this in mind and pledge generously for 2012.
