Finance Committee

The Finance Committee’s primary responsibilities are preparing and presenting the annual budget to the Church Committee and Congregation. They monitor expenditures throughout the year and oversee our investment portfolio.

We have so many reasons to celebrate – a great community of caring people, a proud history, and a deep hope that we can make a difference in our local communities and beyond.

Being an active participant in the life of SCC includes financial support to the extent you are able. One way to say thank you for all our blessings is by giving.

Each fall the Finance Committee kicks off our annual Stewardship Campaign, which provides the majority of funds for the Church’s annual budget and operating needs. The budget is supplemented with a number of fundraisers during the year like the  Strawberry Festival and the Village Fair.

Your gift matters! SCC is pleased and grateful to receive your gifts in support of the ministries and missions of the Church. To (Give) submit a pledge please click here.
