What Are the Financial Priorities at WRCC?

The priorities that direct the spending at WRCC are all broken into 5 "buckets". We use this bucket analogy to demonstrate how the money flows thru the priorities. All funds that come to WRCC are essentially poured into the first bucket, and then the overflow continues to fill the rest of the buckets as funds allow. Each week the all funds are poured into Bucket 1 and the remaining buckets are all filled until the funds are depleted.

  1. Principles, Commitments & Staff
    Each Monday, a check is written for 8% of weekly offering to Global Expansion and 4% of to Community Works. Funds for the mortgage, payroll, & employee benefits are also reserved weekly.
  2. Ministry Programming
    Each Monday, ministry programming resource requests are prioritized according to the 2009 Budget and available funds. Examples of programming expenses include children’s curriculum, coffee, counseling, small group materials, office supplies, subscriptions & professional fees, worship music & information technology, etc. (In 2009 the Ministry Programming budget equals approximately 50% less than 2008).
  3. Operational Readiness Fund
    Designed as an “emergency fund”, for unexpected expenses, and periods of decreased cash flow.
  4. Debt Reduction Fund
    In addition to WRCC’s regular mortgage payment, additional payments are made to reduce the outstanding debt and expedite payoff of the loan.
  5. Special Projects
    Special projects as defined by the Eldership. (i.e. Deer Creek Community Church)
