Finance Commission

The Finance Commission advises and consults with the Pastor and staff of the Stewardship Department.

The Commission has the responsibility for the well being of the parish regarding stewardship, money management, and accounting, in general, the temporal affairs of the parish. It provides necessary research and financial planning necessary for the overall financial health of the parish. It helps to set the goals and objectives of the Stewardship Department, and helps to coordinate the ministries and committees of the parish that involve fund raising and temporal affairs. It serves the Pastor, the Assembly of Parish Leaders, and ultimately every parishioner of Good Shepherd.

The Commission is made up of six appointed members and three selected members serving three-year terms on a staggered basis. The appointed members are commissioned by the pastor. These members will be well known for their ability in areas of accounting, budgeting, cash management, personnel management, and building maintenance. The selected members are chosen through an annual lottery drawing of volunteers on Pentecost Sunday. The selected need to have a financial background.

Time commitment: Quarterly meetings lasting 1-2 hours
