Diocese seeking ideas, feedback for 2020 budget

7/1/2019

As part of a new budget development process, Bishop Skip Adams and the Diocesan Council are asking members of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina to offer their ideas and suggestions for the 2020 Diocesan Budget.

An online form is available now through August 15 for providing input on what should be in the spending plan that will be proposed and voted on at the 229th Diocesan Convention in November. Suggestions and feedback collected from this form will be reviewed by the Budget Creation Committee that is responsible for the initial drafting of the budget. Learn more about the new budget process here.

People making budget suggestions are encouraged to review two documents first: The 2019 Diocesan Budget, and the Diocesan Vision Statement. Ideas and suggestions should relate to and support the diocesan vision. The online form will guide people through the process of providing feedback.

For questions regarding the online form, please contact Lauren Kinard in the Diocesan Office, lkinard@episcopalchurchsc.org or 843-259-2016.
