June 14, 2005 Church Conference Reviewplease contact the church office to obtain a copy of the Church Conference Report 40 members and friends of Skyline Church attended our 2005 Church Conference, presided over by District Superintendent John Mitchell. The conference members received ministry reports from Phyllis Hite, our Lay Leader, our Co-Pastors, Vicki and Bo Gordy-Stith, and our Pathway Ministers. They unanimously approved the Report of Pastor (membership report), Nominations Report, and Compensation for Pastors proposed by our Staff/Parish Relations Committee. The Report of Pastor included the reception of 47 members received and the withdrawal by action of Charge Conference of 78 members in FY 2004-05. As of June 14, 2005, Skyline’s membership stands at 307 full members and 131 baptized members who have not become professing members (children). Approximately 10% of our membership (41 members) are inactive. The Nominations Report welcomed two new members of the church Council (Robin Greer and Duncan Outslay) and extended Dave Doyle an additional year. Five new Pathway Ministers were nominated (Diane Jenkins – Caring, Tracy Ferguson – Evangelism, Joe Quig – Facilities, Barbara Dawson – Small Groups, and Myfanwy Bonilla – Staffing). Jed Todd and Steve Bartlett were nominated for Facilities, Curt Lawson for Lay Leadership, Lisa Quig and Jerry Jenkins for SPRC, and Peg Hart, Marjorie Logan, and Adele McIntosh for Stewardship. Janet Green will continue to serve as Treasurer and Scott Wartel will continue to serve as Financial Secretary. The Pastoral Compensation plan continues to work toward a goal set by the November 12, 1998 Skyline Church Conference of paying our co-pastors “at the top half of the base compensation range defined using the range of base compensation figures paid by the Wilmington District congregations.” To meet this goal by 2010, each base salary increased in FY05-06 by 8.6% from the previous fiscal year. Darren Argo reported that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, our expenses were projected to be $20,000 more than our income (actual figures were $369,591 income and $380,206 expenses, or a $10,615 shortfall. Stewardship Pathway anticipates our income will be $50,000 below anticipated expenses of $442,000 for the coming fiscal year. To close this gap, Stewardship will be working with our Council and Pathway Ministers to develop plans for raising income. We thanked God for richly providing for our ministry needs in a year when 20% of our members and the gifts they provided withdrew from Skyline, and we anticipate that God will continue to provide for our needs, enabling us to continue to be a light to searching people in Pike Creek. |
