2013 Financial Reports as of 1/22/14

WELCOME FROM OUR LEAD PASTOR REV. DR. RICHARD KANNWISCHER

“As much as we celebrate 2013, we continue to believe the best days are ahead of us.”

Dear St. Andrew’s family, I want to start off by saying thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love for this community. In the following pages, you will see a few of the ways in which we revealed God’s goodness together as a church family this past year. I present to you our 2013 Annual Report.

In 2013 we launched our new Vision; More than a Place – A Community. More than a Church Building – an Adopted Family. The easiest place to find community at our church is in Life Groups. It’s been very exciting to see the Life Groups ministry grow this past year, and the number of deep relationships that have begun as a result. I have seen intergenerational groups of men and women, couples, students and more, meeting together on a regular basis, becoming spiritually mature together, serving together, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

measure the depth of our spirituality. This year has been extraordinary as we have seen a surging number of people join Life Groups (pages 5,8), increase in membership (page 6), increase in young families engaged in ministries more aligned to their specific needs (pages 8,9,10) and the intergenerational reach of our ministries as we baptized members ranging in ages from 1 to over 70 years old (page 6).

As much as we celebrate 2013, we continue to believe the best days are ahead of us. I am grateful to be your Lead Pastor and partner with you in this mighty work God has called us to share in, together.

With great anticipation in Christ,

Rev. Dr. Richard Kannwisher

As you journey through this report, you will see a lot of facts, figures and photos, telling the story of ministry that happened in our church in 2013. But, if you simply look through this report, focusing only on 2013, you will miss a greater story - something to look forward to - which is why the theme “Looking Forward” is sprinkled throughout this document.

While our general attendance has increased over the last 5 years, we were generally flat in 2013. But we have seen tremendous spiritual growth.

It’s important to consider multiple indicators in evaluating how our church is doing. On one hand it’s easy to look at numerical growth, but it’s also important to try and

The annual Grandparent/Special Friend Day brought over 300 guests to the preschool play yard.

“Sacred Space” is the best way to describe what happened at this year’s Women’s Spring Brunch.

Teams from our church traveled to Tecate, Mexico, throughout the year, building relationships while serving their community.

During each of the Palm Sunday services, students took turns reading through scripture.

Some of our St. Andrew’s men enjoyed the snow and slopes of Mammoth, at our annual Men’s Ski Trip.

Our kids learned about having a heart full of love during group worship at Camp Create.

The annual Fourscore and More party was a blast, with the theme of the Fabulous Fifties!

Couples from our St. Andrew’s family came together to hear from Chap and Dee Clark during the 2013 Couples’ Conference.

Easter and Christmas 2013 Average Combined Attendance

In the sermon series, “Cor 1 Corinthians in the 21st Century,” we discovered God’s Calling and Your Community.

In the sermon series, “Table,” we explored what Biblical Community looks like - Trust, Accountability, Belonging, Laughter and Encouragement.

Do you have questions you’d like to ask God? Most of us do! But did you know that God has questions He is asking you? We looked at the questions the Bible asks of us.

What we do exposes what we really believe to be true.

In “iWill,” we discovered what the Apostles’ Creed looks like when it is not only proclaimed but lived out.

We learned about Making Room during the chaos of the holiday season by looking at the different types of soil that Jesus talked about in the Parable of the Sower.

Family Ministries

One of the ways we try to live out our value of “Extreme Hospitality” in Family Ministries is to be involved with young people “on their turf.” We want to extend our hospitality well beyond the Youth Center, the Sanctuary and the church property. Because of this you’ll see an occasional # of non-St. Andrew’s programs - these #’s represent the young people who receive ministry on a regular basis but aren’t our typical church programs.

The Lord continued to bless St. Andrew’s in 2013 as its faithful members contributed sufficient funds to support our mission while achieving our two primary financial goals for the year. These goals were: 1) Funding our mission, ministry and vision goals; 2) Funding the capital reserve and needs of the church; and 3) Paying down the debt.

Our total operating receipts of $7,031,000 were $393,000 over budget and represented a $225,000 increase over last year. Our operating expenses of $6,573,000 were $65,000 less than budget. The result was a surplus of $459,000, which is available to increase our capital reserves to $1,521,000.

We received contributions of $843,000 to our Building the Future fund which, along with funds from estate settlements, were used to pay our mortgage balance down from $11 million at the beginning of the year to $9.8 million at year end.

Because of God’s blessings in 2013, we are a financially stronger Christian community: His adopted family, prepared to follow Jesus Christ to lead lives that reveal God’s goodness. Our two major financial challenges for 2014 will once again be raising additional funds to pay down our $9.8 million mortgage and adding to our capital reserves. We look forward with anticipation to how God will bless us in the year to come.

DENOMINATIONAL UPDATE 2013 Report from the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Denominational Task Force At the urging of Los Ranchos Presbytery, St. Andrew’s spent the first 5 months of 2013 in congregational discernment about our congregation’s future connection to its parent denomination, the PC(USA). With hearts open to God’s leading, our leaders and members worked to discern our congregation’s missional calling and the nature of its best partnership with the PC(USA).

Some of the results of this congregation-wide dialogue and study can be found in the numerous resources still available at our church’s web site (www.sapres.org/denomination).

This 5-month conversation was not the first of its kind at St. Andrew’s. While our congregation’s history is replete with examples of honoring its Presbyterian ties, for several decades our church leaders have had substantial concerns with the theological and missional drift of the PC(USA).

The congregation’s study led to a straw poll vote in June 2013, where 88.5% of the church’s members voting said the session should engage with the Presbytery in a joint process that could lead to realignment.

After considering this vote and participating in presbytery-wide discernment events, the St. Andrew’s session voted to petition Los Ranchos Presbytery to begin formal discussions that could lead to St. Andrew’s Church aligning with a different Presbyterian denomination. This decision has been prayerfully and carefully made and comes after countless hours of study, discussion and deliberation with church leaders and the congregation.

As the first step of our dialogue with Los Ranchos Presbytery, St. Andrew’s Session has sent the presbytery a document outlining our reasons for seeking realignment from the PC(USA) to another Reformed Body. The presbytery has received this request, along with similar requests from ten other congregations in the local area.

Pursuant to Presbytery policy, members of a “Joint Resolution Team” have been selected and trained. Teaching Elder Rev. Rich Kannwischer and Ruling Elders Anita Sherbanee, Rick Nelson and Mike Lewis will represent our congregation. Los Ranchos Presbytery has assigned Teaching Elders Rev. Jerry Tankersly, Candie Blankman and John Griffin and Ruling Elder Rob Longworthy to represent the presbytery. Charged and empowered to create a joint resolution that the presbytery and then St. Andrew’s Session and congregation would have the opportunity to approve, this team has already met twice in December. In the New Year they will meet every Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. We encourage the entire church family to be in prayer for them.

Within the coming months, representatives of Presbytery will be meeting at least twice with Session and once with the entire congregation. Please make every effort to attend this important Town Hall Meeting when it is announced.

At the end of this process, if Presbytery and the St. Andrew’s Session have voted to approve the Joint Resolution, then the final decision – to realign with another denomination – will be made by a vote of the congregation. According to our Book Of Order (G-10501 and G-10502), that vote must be taken on a single day at a single meeting; no early or absentee voting can be allowed. If and when this congregational meeting occurs, we will announce the time and place as early as possible so that everyone can make plans to attend.

Please remember to pray regularly for all those who are involved in this process that the outcome may be in accordance with God’s best for St. Andrew’s and for Los Ranchos Presbytery. In the meantime, your elders, pastors and members of the Task Force welcome your questions. Feel free to contact the church office if you have any questions or comments.

Yours in Christ’s Service,

Fritz Westerhout Chair, St. Andrew’s Denominational Task Force
