New Conference Board Calls for Proportional Giving by Churches
Leaders of the newly forming Southern New England conference are asking churches to think in a new way about giving to the wider church: to share a percentage of income in proportion to their gifts from God.
The new Conference Board of Directors has approved a Proportional Giving approach to replace the current system, where churches are asked to give both to Our Church’s Wider Mission Basic Support and through membership dues (known as Fellowship Dues in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and Per Capita Contributions in Connecticut).
Nicole Hosford, Christian Education Director for the Colchester Federated Church in CT, reflects on what it's like when 63 kids and 52 youth and adult volunteers get involved in Vacation Bible School.
