Financial Stewardship
We are committed to financial stewardship at City Church to ensure high standards of financial integrity and accountability.  Examples of our controls/procedures include the following:
 
1. Receipts: Contributions are collected by rotating volunteer ushers, counted immediately and secured.  Processing is done by a City Church staff person but excludes the pastor. The pastor and the City Church Board do not see individual contributor records.
2. Disbursements: Expenses are reviewed and paid by our Treasurer.  Checks of a more material amount require a second authorized signer.  Regardless of amount, all disbursements are reviewed by two or more Board members (other than the Treasurer) before payment is released.  The Treasurer cannot sign checks payable to the Treasurer.  The Pastor has no check signing authority.
3. Our annual budget is presented at the annual meeting by the Board for approval by members.
4. Our financial records are regularly reviewed by the Board and an independent CPA reviewed report is presented at the annual meeting in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
5. Material expenses or encumbrances (i.g. lease commitments) require the approval of at least two Board members and cannot exceed certain thresholds over the annual budget.
6. Additional questions regarding the financial controls and procedures at City Church are welcome!  Please contact our Pastor or any Board member with your questions.

These controls are only part of a complete financial management system designed to ensure that we handle money in a way that honors Christ and preserves the long term trust of our congregation.
