Adam Fike

Westview Wesleyan

Interviewed – Pastor Mark Deisler on 1/12/09

39.9% Ministers & Staff

44.1% Facilities

6.3% Programs

9.7% Denomination Support and Missions

Observations:

1. Two committees work to create the budget and another committee ratifies it. A treasure report is given monthly.
2. Denominational expenses in the Wesleyan denomination are based on overall tithing. This has been changed from membership enrollment in the past.
3. A big piece of the budget is comparing last year’s budget from the current year and calculating percent changes.
