GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ANNUAL REPORTING…
Often each Church’s Pastor, Secretary, Clerk and Treasurer partner together to complete the reporting process for your church. We hope your “Annual Clerk Report Team” will do their part to bring our Region to 100% participation this year. By doing so…
1. you will help us improve the reliability of the data for our wider American Baptist family, which allows us to:
- provide documentation and evidence of our ministry together (a requirement for our non-profit 501c3 status)
- evaluate needs & provide resources
- keep you informed & connected
2. your church has tangible evidence of your relationship with us for privileges that include:
- having a voice in how we continue to do ministry together in the future
- non-profit tax exemption eligibility through our denomination
- resources and support for Pastors, Church lay leaders & congregations
- eligibility when grant, scholarship or inheritance distribution issues arise which relate to churches & their pastors in relationship with us
As we continue to make greater use of technology as we seek to be good stewards of God’s resources, it is helpful to have e-mail addresses for every pastor and church, as well as church website (URL) addresses. Therefore, we encourage you to include email addresses along with other contact information to assist us with this effort.
If your Church’s Annual Clerk Report Team has any questions, please contact Jennifer Greene at (jennifergreene@abc-indiana.org or 317-635-3552 ext 221).
