Delegates approve balanced ministry financial plan
āWELS is financially strong,ā says Mr. Kyle Egan, WELSā chief financial officer. āGod continues to bless WELS with the financial gifts needed to maintain current ministry levels and to develop a well-balanced ministry financial plan for the next biennium.ā
On Tuesday morning, Egan shared WELSā recent financial information with synod convention delegates and explained key elements of the proposed ministry financial plan for the upcoming biennium of 2021ā23. Following his presentation, delegates approved the ministry financial plan.
Prof. Daniel Balge, a pastor delegate from the Minnesota District, served as chairman of the convention floor committee that dealt with the ministry financial plan. Balge notes that āthe plan reflects Godās financial blessings to the Wisconsin Synod. With gratitude for the recent past and with thoughtful confidence for the near future, our synodās leaders have put forward a plan that energetically supports the sharing of the gospel.ā
The plan includes support for WELS ministerial education, Missions, and Congregational Services. For details, see Eganās full presentation, which is available at wels.net/2021synodconvention.
