FINANCIAL VALUES

The GMC Difference: Our Financial Values

We endeavor to keep ministry funds in the hands of the local churches, instead of the hands of the conference. That is because we trust local churches in mission, in ministry, and in support of the conference! Which means we aren’t the “connectional funding police” knocking at the church door asking, “where’s the money?” We trust you will provide as the Lord provides for your church. We do this by staying grounded in our guiding principles that shape our attitudes, behaviors, and decisions.

Transparency

Our MidSouth Values Are:

Transparency

Trust is rarely achieved without transparency. As good stewards, we will provide financial & administrative information on a timely basis with clarity & conciseness through various available avenues for your access.

Accountability & Integrity

We are accountable to you, the Annual Conference. As servants of Christ and the Conference, we accept the covenant to provide the financial & administrative information you require. We do so to honor Jesus.

Lean "Footprint"

As a Conference, we are good stewards of the funds entrusted us & committed to mission. We aim to minimize expenses where possible, such as not having a conference center or central office building.

Local Church is the Center of Ministry

The Annual Conference can train, guide, & nurture your churches, but we recognize the Conference cannot do the ministry the local church can. Keeping funds in the local church keeps the focus on ministry.
