ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCH Ministry Plan and Narrative Budget

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

Ministry Plan

“Leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, His followers, and His world”

How are we going to live out this mission in the coming fiscal year? What follows is a

description of six areas of special focus that form the heart of our ministry plan for St. John’s

Lutheran Church and School. For each of these areas, we describe first the vision of what it will

look like when we grow in this area of emphasis. This is followed by a description of specific

plans toward realizing that vision.

Ministry Focus 1: Adult Discipleship

Vision: All members involved in ongoing discipleship, living the marks of discipleship, and part

of a discipling small group or a discipleship class. Because of this growth, more and more

members are engaging with God’s mission in their daily lives.

We seek to step up significantly our efforts at discipling adults. What is a disciple? What does a

disciple do? At its heart discipleship is following Jesus. Discipleship is seeking to live all of our

lives as an expression of faith in Him. This can be expressed in terms of these seven marks of

discipleship:

1. Constant in Prayer – Engaging in prayer daily; growing in intercessory prayer and

praying with others.

2. Grounded in the Word – Reading and meditating on the Word daily, applying and

obeying the Word

3. Faithful in Worship – Worshiping with others weekly, cultivating a personal or family

devotion life

4. Spiritual Friendship – Living the faith in relationship; participating in a discipling group

or study group

5. Loving Service – Seeking to serve people inside and outside the St. John’s family

6. Intentional Generosity – Growing in generous giving of time, talent and treasure

7. Compassionate Witness – Sharing the love of Jesus in word and deed; Seeking to make

more disciples

St. John’s Lutheran Church 2 Narrative Budget

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

How will we cultivate the growth of these marks of discipleship in our lives and in our

congregation? This discipleship effort will consist of three types of activity:

1. Classes with emphasis on discipleship and application. The following classes are

planned. Others will be added.

o “Discovering the Christian Faith” - Essential Christian teachings with an

emphasis on sharing the faith with others

o “Discovering Spiritual Growth” - Growing in the seven marks of discipleship

o “Following Jesus” – A study of the Gospel of Matthew with the goal of applying

its teachings on discipleship

o Prayer Workshops - Several prayer workshops focused on providing practical

training in the practice of prayer

2. Huddles (Small groups with a discipleship focus) - We seek to begin six huddles

3. Small Group Leader Training - In order to expand our discipleship training, we need to

identify and equip more small group leaders

Ministry Focus 2: Prayer

Vision: All members with an active prayer life, comfortable praying with other people. Our first

reaction in times of need or thanksgiving is to pray.

We seek to elevate the importance of prayer in our St. John’s community, and to grow in the

practice of prayer relationships. This involves at least the following:

1. Prayer Workshops (as listed above)

2. Formation of a prayer ministry team:

o Available to pray with people during Sunday morning and other services

o Facilitate prayer events (prayer vigil, prayer services, etc.)

o Model and encourage prayer in others

o Lead prayer in worship

3. Constructive changes to how we pray on Sunday mornings. We want to ensure that

anyone who shows up on a Sunday morning with a hurting need or a joyful thanksgiving

will have the opportunity to join with others in prayer.

Ministry Focus 3: Serving the School

Vision: Church members see the school as a mission field in which they can become involved.

Church members are actively involved in serving the school and the school families, displaying

the love of Christ, and offering themselves as helpful, compassionate servants.

Page 3: ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCHstjohnslutheran.net/.../Proposed-Ministry-Plan-and-Narrative-Budget... · description of six areas of special focus that form the heart of our ministry

St. John’s Lutheran Church 3 Narrative Budget

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

We are blessed to have people on our campus daily with whom we can serve with the grace,

love and compassion of Christ. We seek to grow in embracing our calling to serve our school

community. We plan to pursue this vision in this way:

1. Church members involved in supporting our school at key school events

2. Church members regularly on campus serving school families.

3. Along with teachers, key parents and students, develop a plan for other ways in which

the church community can serve the school community.

Ministry Focus 4: Growing Generosity

Vision: Members are growing in generosity, seen in their generous giving, as well as their

generosity with their time and talents for the sake of the Mission. As an encouragement, St.

John’s regularly celebrates what God is doing both in individuals and through the church’s

ministry.

We will encourage growth in generosity in all of its forms throughout our St. John’s family.

We will seek to grow in discipleship (see above), which leads us to grow in generosity in

all of its forms.

We will keep the congregation informed about all the good news of what God is doing

through our many ministries.

We will promoting alternate methods of making our offerings to the Lord

We will explore working with Generis in order to help us grow in cultivating a culture of

generosity at St. John’s.

Ministry Focus 5: Develop a strategy for the future of Mision De Jesus

Vision: Mision de Jesus continues to thrive after Pastor Luis retires. We capitalize on

opportunities for Anglo and Hispanic St. John’s to work together.

Pastor Luis will likely be retiring in the summer of 2018. We want to ensure the ongoing

viability and growth of this ministry during this transition and beyond

We will develop a plan for the leadership of Mision de Jesus in light of Pastor Luis’

retirement

We will explore opportunities for bringing the people of Mision de Jesus and St. John’s

together.

Ministry Focus 6: Enhancing Communication

Vision: St. John’s effectively communicates with members, attenders, school community and the

Napa Community. We communicate not only of upcoming opportunities, but also ministry

successes, making use of all forms of communication, including social media.

Page 4: ST. JOHN’S LUTHERAN CHURCHstjohnslutheran.net/.../Proposed-Ministry-Plan-and-Narrative-Budget... · description of six areas of special focus that form the heart of our ministry

St. John’s Lutheran Church 4 Narrative Budget

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

We will grow in communicating what God is doing among us and in our community through this

ministry. We will more effectively communicate both inside and outside this ministry. We will

grow in making more effective use of both traditional and online/social methods of

communication.

Ministry Focus 7: Establish Stephen Ministry at St. John’s

Vision: St. John’s has a team of trained lay caregivers providing compassion ministry to those in

our church, school and broader community. This serves not only those who are homebound,

hospitalized, but also the grieving, the hurting, and others in need of compassionate Christian

counsel and care.

We will establish Stephen Ministry at St. John’s this fiscal year. This will involve extensive

training by Stephen Ministry of one staff person and 1-2 lay leaders. These people in turn will

train others who will form the St. John’s Stephen Ministry Team. The training will be funded

from the Endowment Fund.

Narrative Budget

How will we allocate financial resources to carry out the mission our Lord has given us? The

narrative budget presents the answer to this question in terms of the ministry areas of our

congregation.

Mission and Evangelism Ministries

Pastoral and Staff Ministries

Adult Discipleship Ministries

Youth and Children Ministries

Christian Day School Ministry

Worship Ministries

In addition to these ministry areas, there

are also two important support categories:

Mission Support Ministries

Campus Facility Ministries

Our investments in ministry also include wages and benefits, facility maintenance, property

costs, supplies, etc. While they are not generally identified as ministries themselves, they are

important to pursuing the mission of our church and they complement and support all of our

ministries.

St. John’s Lutheran Church 5 Narrative Budget

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

Income Sources

The ministry of St. John’s is funded from multiple sources. The narrative budget information

that follows illustrates the funding sources for each ministry area. The church receives funds in

four different ways:

General Fund Offerings and Income: The tithes and offerings on Sunday morning and

special services, along with miscellaneous refunds, rebates and interest income

Designated Offerings: Offerings that are given specifically for a certain ministry,

program, or need

Grants and Endowments: Disbursements from the St. John’s Endowment Fund as well

as grants, such as Thrivent Choice Dollars.

Participant Funded: Those that participate in the ministry pay for the expenses of the

ministry

The budget below indicates where the funds for each line item will be coming from.

The most difficult income source to estimate is the Church General Offerings. During the past

year, we fell very far behind in our General Fund income. We praise God that as a congregation

we responded generously when the need was placed before us. Our Lord is faithful in moving

His people to provide resources for the ministry.

General Fund Budget Estimate

The estimate for the coming fiscal year is $643,500 based on an analysis of general fund

offering trends of the past several years. Because this estimate is considerably less than last

year’s budgeted income ($76,500), we have made several substantial reductions in expenses.

The three main changes from last year are:

Pastor Luis will go from full time to part time in his last year before retirement

The CNH District Offering is reduced from 10% of General Fund Offerings to 5%

Church Staff salaries are frozen.

Should our offerings exceed the budget, we will apply the surplus in this way:

Restore the CNH District Offering to 10%

Unfreeze Church Staff salaries

Replenish Church Operating Reserve

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

The Pastoral and Staff Ministry budget includes the salary and benefits for the Lead Pastor,

Family Life Pastor, office manager, bookkeeper, and business administrator. (Church and

school share the salary and benefits costs of the business administrator 30% - 70%,

respectively.)

3. ADULT DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRIES

Adult Discipleship ministries account for 0.5% of our annual dollar investment in ministries or

approximately $12,700 plus countless volunteer hours.

This is the ministry area that is to receive the most attention in our ministry plan for the coming

year. This is not necessarily reflected in the size of its budget because the expenses associated

with relational discipleship ministry are relatively small. The “expense” is human expense as

staff and laity devote themselves to the pursuit of growth as disciples and the making of

disciples.

Our youth ministry is in a time of transition as we seek to call a new director of youth ministry.

This position focuses on working with 5th grade through college ministry, including Club 56 (5th

and 6th Grade), Confirmation, Abide (7th and 8th Grade), and Ablaze (High School). The focus of

our youth ministry is not just church members, but also those of our school community and

greater Napa community.

Director of Children’s Ministry, Janis King, oversees ministry to children birth through fourth

grade. In terms of specific ministries, this includes Children’s Church, Vacation Bible School,

and other events and concerts aimed at serving children and their families.

Although not funded through the General Fund, we consider our partnership with Boy Scouts of

America part of our youth ministry. We are the chartered organization for Boy Scout Troop 83

and Cub Scout Pack 183.

5. CHRISTIAN DAY SCHOOL MINISTRY

The purpose of the school is to provide Christian education for the members of St. John’s Lutheran Church and as an outreach to the community in and around the Napa Valley. The school has been a very successful first point of contact for many families that join the church. The following school mission statement is in alignment with the mission and vision of the church as it strives to help students gain a closer relationship with Jesus Christ and learn the importance of discipleship and service.

St. John’s Lutheran Church 11 Narrative Budget

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

All students will grow in their relationship with Christ and develop the knowledge and skills to be confident, academically capable individuals who serve Christ, His church, and His world.

The school budget structure is considered a “segmented unified” budget. The school income and expenses are processed through unified bank accounts, but in setting the budget for the year, the school is set up so that school expenses are covered by tuition, fees, and other school revenue centers. Facility and utility costs are split between the church and school using a “70/30 split”. This means that in general the school covers 70% of those costs, and the church covers 30% of those costs. Along with funding through the regular budget, the school benefits from outside sources. Additional sources of funding come through our APT (Association of Parents and Teachers), an Athletic Fund, a School Trust, and Endowment grants through a Faith Tuition Fund, the Bob Hauch Endowment Fund, and the Eagle Endowment Fund. The APT provides close to $100,000 a year in support. The School Trust allows individuals to donate toward specific restricted items, and allows for the school to manage other revenue centers like hot lunches, scrip, and class field trips. The current endowment funds are primarily used for tuition assistance. Recently, the Faith Tuition Fund was designated to support St. John’s Lutheran Church member families who have a need for tuition assistance at St. John’s. Goals for the next year: The school sets its goals and priorities based on two factors: 1) matching the mission and vision of St. John’s Lutheran Church and School, and 2) adhering to action plans set up as part of the accreditation process through the Western Association and Schools and Colleges (WASC) and National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA). As a ministry of St. John's Lutheran Church, the school focuses on four primary School-wide Learning Objectives:

1. Students will understand the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and grow in their relationship with Him through daily living in God’s Word.

2. Students will become confident individuals as they identify, develop, and use their God-given gifts and abilities.

3. Students will become academically capable individuals by obtaining the knowledge and skills needed to reach their potential and finding effective ways to apply what they learn to real life situations and challenges.

4. Students will celebrate God’s love by serving Christ, His Church, and His world. Five years ago, our school went through a full self-study and accreditation visit to establish new goals over the next six years. We have an Action Plan (Strategic Plan) with seven areas that we have focused on over six years. The seven areas are Professional Development, Financial Planning, Technology Planning, Resource Program Review and Updating, Evangelism Outreach, Reviewing Programs for Student Interpersonal Relationships, and More Effective Use of

Program Assessment Data. Our next full accreditation self-study and visit will be completed by 2018, but the self-study process started this past January. Enrollment projections for the 2017-18 school year look positive. Applications in preschool and Kindergarten for next year are very strong. The 2017-18 school budget projection is being constructed based on the following goals:

1. Continue to fully adhere to the St. John’s Salary Guidelines. 2. Provide additional tuition assistance for families who demonstrate a need. 3. Prepare for teacher turnover during the next 2-3 years. 4. Increase the School Operating Reserve.

In order to meet these goals, our initial budget forecast for 2017-18 will require a 4% increase in tuition and is based on a projected enrollment of 279 students. We have constructed a balanced budget for the school that will allow us to meet our obligations and goals for next year.

The following chart displays the allocation of the budget in terms of salary/benefits, ministry,

and facilities.

7. MISSION SUPPORT MINISTRIES

Some functions of our church are not usually identified as ministries, but they are important to

executing the mission of our church. Many of these activities complement and support all our

ministries. These supportive ministries help us communicate important information to church

members and to the community, provide support for recreational and special events, and fulfill

other important responsibilities.

8. CAMPUS FACILITY MINISTRIES

Having a place to worship, study, train and have fellowship is important to our church. The care

and maintenance of the grounds and church building reflect the spiritual concern of a church.

This is part of our church’s stewardship. We want our facilities to reflect the glory of the One

for whom they were built. Church and school share the cost of these critical expenses on a

proportional use basis, approximated to be 30% church and 70% school. Major capital

equipment purchases, if any, will be fully funded by designated gifts and accounts, such as the

Capital Asset Reserve.
