The Mission and Service Fund is the primary funding vehicle for the work of the South Australian Presbytery and Synod. In effect it is out financial declaration that we're all in this together, that community = you & me & us & them. Through congregational input, income from investments, recovery of some Ministry Centre costs and other income we prove there is greater strength in greater numbers; indeed our financial numbers are better when we work together. 
For more information on the Mission and Service Fund please refer to the attached flyer. |
