Supporting Montreat
Partners in Minstry
With the caring support of many, Montreat’s financial turnaround is continuing. We are grateful for last fiscal year’s contributions of $130,484 from 74 churches as our Partners in Ministry. This extraordinary response enabled the Montreat Fund to meet its goal at fiscal year-end on April 30, 2011 and for the Conference Center to meet budget for the 8th straight year.
We rejoice at this success, but we continue to strive toward our goal of $1 million annually to support our Montreat Fund. This fiscal year, which runs from May 1, 2011, to April 30, 2012, our goal for the Montreat Fund is $775,000. To reach that goal and move Montreat’s ministry into the future, the direct financial support of churches and presbyteries is crucial.
Because lodging and conference fees cover only a portion of the $6.8 million needed to operate the conference center, the Montreat Fund must provide over 11% of operating funds for Montreat to meets its budget.
If your church would like to learn more about supporting Montreat Conference Center as one of our Partners in Ministry, please let us know. We would be glad to share with you.
