Thank you for reviewing the Grand Canyon Synod Proposed Mission Plan for 2024-2025. The plan is below and available as a PDF. You can view one of our webinars about the Mission Plan by clicking here, and use this passcode: $0*XQy=2

Below is some important information to note when reviewing the Proposed Mission Plan.

The Mission Plan focuses on how to best allocate the benevolence dollars entrusted to the Synod by our congregations. Remember that YOU are the synod, and it is because of your generosity that these important ministries are able to continue their vitally important work.
The first page of the Plan is the statement of Income and Expenses, where the last line is “Net Income.” It is important to note that this figure, which appears as a negative, does NOT represent a loss! Rather, it shows the use of funds for the important ministries of the synod. A portion of the “use of funds” relates to timing as some of the income was generated in previous years and is now being spent in the 24-25 fiscal year.
Page two shows the missions supported by the Synod and the funding allocated to each. Note that some ministries that previously received support from the “Mission Support – Other” category are now being funded from another category, such as the Growing Generosity Appeal, the Mission and Ministry fund, or as a program expense.
Page three is a graphic representation of the proposed allocation of your contributions to the Grand Canyon Synod for Mission Support Other and Youth Programming/Events.. As you can see, 41%, the largest single piece of the pie, would be earmarked for Campus Ministries reinforcing the Synod’s commitment to growing the future of the church by reaching young people who are yearning for connection and meaning.

Do you have questions? If so, we invite you to attend one of the Mission Spending Plan presentations or contact the synod office at office@gcsynod.org.
