QUESTIONS ABOUT GENERAL USE OF FUNDING THE MISSION:

+ What is my church's income?

The most simple and common definition of your church’s income is a charitable contribution to your church. Whether designated or not designated, if the gift is charitable, it is usually considered to be church income.  See this link for guidelines on what is and what is not considered church income. (https://fundingthemission.org/sites/default/files/Definition_of_Income_and_Examples_REVISED.pdf

+ How do you calculate my church's World Evangelism Fund, Pensions & Benefits,

and Education goals?

 

The funding plan is “tithe-like” in that it is based on the local church’s current fiscal year income. As your church sends in mission gifts, whether a WEF gift or a mission project gift, those gifts are subtracted from your church’s income and the goals are recalculated. There is never any giving goal calculated on any gift that your church gives towards Nazarene missions.

+ What is the mission Ten (formally Ten Percent) goal?

 

This goal challenges each church to give at least 10% of its church income to Nazarene mission projects which includes monies given to the WEF and any other mission special project.

+ What's a Point-to-point request, and how do I submit one?

 

A point to point request form is how a local church reports a gift that was given directly to a Nazarene mission project instead of sending the gift to the General Treasurer.  Point to point forms are filled out on the website Funding the Mission. If approved, the point to point request adds to a church’s mission project giving totals and helps a church reach the Mission Ten goal.

+ Can my church give online?

 

Yes, each church can give through the www.fundingthemission.org site and is the most cost-effective way to give towards a local church’s giving goals.

+ How do I report our church's income? 

A church can report its income on the Funding the Mission website and the site will help calculate your church’s giving goals.  Reporting income on the site helps a church stay on track with their giving goals.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CHURCH ACCOUNTS ON FUNDING THE MISSION:

+ Our church's transaction was processed incorrectly. How do we change it?

Each church can request changes to gifts that have been received by the General Treasurer by going to the “Contributions” page, locating the gift record in question and clicking on the word, “Details” and filling out a change request form for the gift.

+ Why does my World Evangelism Fund goal and other giving goals keep changing?

The funding plan is based on the current year church’s income that is received by each church. As the income changes, the goals will change as that income is reported.

+ I reported the wrong church income. How do I change or correct the wrong numbers?

If you reported the wrong income number, a church can enter another income and reset the total.  The old/incorrect income update number will remain on the site for your reference. This procedure will reset your income to the correct number

+ How do I save a bank account or credit card to use for giving online?

Each user can save their churches banking account or credit card on the website by clicking on the dollar sign icon on the website.  Once the information is saved, it is protected and is only seen by the individual user who entered it.
