Member Church giving makes up just over half of the revenue of the General Operating Fund of the NACCC (a very important half!).  The General Operating Fund provides the monies that run the Oak Creek Office, publish The Congregationalist magazine, provides innumerable services to Churches, and funds the Annual Meeting.   It includes everything from salaries of the staff and travel of the Executive Secretary and the Executive Committee, to the mundane (snowplowing, utility and technology expenses, paper, etc.). Also, each of the 4 Divisions, as well as the Building and Loan Division, make contributions to the General Operating Fund.  While this divisional support does not cover the costs of all services to the divisions, it does account for 15% of the total revenues of the General Operating Fund.  What really fuels the work of The General Operating Fund are contributions from our member Churches!  To that end, the NA asks each church for an annual “Fair Share” contribution of $10 per active member. If each of our 400+ member churches did this, we could eliminate the deficits we continually face and have additional resources to fund a great number of services we presently can’t offer. The following churches have made a fair share contribution for the April 1, 2004 - March 31, 2005 fiscal year.  We thank them for their stewardship of our Association’s work, as well as those Churches which contribute to our work at every level!

THANK YOU
