It gives me great joy to look back on this year and to see how God has moved in amazing ways through the ministries of Spring Hills. As we focus on “Building Generations for Jesus Christ” and strive to Love, Live and Lead like Jesus, our church family has responded with great enthusiasm, dedication and devotion to our gracious God. Our worship services continue to grow and I pray our worship experience is helping you grow to maturity in your faith. God has truly blessed this church with talented musicians. Many in our congregation continue to grow through study of God’s word with a strong Women’s Bible Study program, our new Men’s 8 Transformational Truths and through Spring Hills University. Our children’s and youth ministries continue to be fun and provide exciting opportunities for our kids to connect with God and with one another. Granville Christian Academy and Sonshine Preschool continue to be great environments for children to experience Christian education. Our Home School ministry is thriving. Spring Hills Baptist Church We also desire to passionately reach out to our community with life-changing ministries. Our AWANA, VBS, His Hope and Celebrate Recovery Ministries are carried out with excellence, blessed by pastoral leadership and exceptional volunteers. We continue our partnership with Look-Up Center as well with volunteers assisting in the Blast Club, Dental Ministry and feeding the hungry. We are touching lives around the world, having sent our largest team ever to the Philippines. Additionally, we are partnering with others to help bring fresh water to those in need in Africa and have begun developing relationships with orphanages there. We hosted our first Orphan Summit to raise awareness and provide opportunities for those who are called to make a difference in the lives of orphans and local children in need of foster care. As I look back on this year, I am overwhelmed by how God is moving in our midst. I am privileged and grateful to be your pastor and to serve alongside such an amazingly talented and devoted staff. The volunteerism in this church family is beyond amazing and we are so thankful for each and every act of service. We are looking forward to a great summer with a ministry soon to be unveiled called “Operation Love Invasion”. It is my hope that the love of Jesus has invaded your heart and is prompting you to share it with those around you. Together, we can make a difference in the world and “Build Generations for Jesus Christ.” In Christ, Pastor Tom Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me. - Colossians 1:28-29 (ESV) Annual Report 2014-15 - 9 annual report Spring Hills Baptist Church Core Values Authentic Worship Absolute Truth Continual Prayer Holy Spirit Led Discipleship Relationships Effective Service Family Focused Healing & Radical Wholeness Obedience Mission Minded A look at the numbers...

The following pages describe an overview - all highlights from the 2014-2015 fiscal year of how our ministries have been touched by the people and gifts of SHBC. This Annual Report has been compiled by our staff and ministry leaders. 2014-15 Sermon Series Peter “And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17 (ESV) Annual Report 2014-15 - 11 annual report Spring Hills Baptist Church Pastor Mark Elliott & his wife Kristin This year our Student Ministry has been about Spiritual growth! Even though we have seen our middle school group nearly double in size to over 40 we have continued to share messages that challenge students to grow. It is our desire to help them lay a firm foundation through high school so that as they go into college they are prepared for the challenges that will come as other worldviews collide with their own. We want students to stay engaged so that they can get the best preparation they can as each year gets more and more challenging than the last! Worshiping Together Our youth group is in a new era of relational ministry that is open and welcoming no matter what school, family, or background you have. We have students from many different schools who all come for the purpose of hearing the Word and worshiping together every Wednesday night for High School at 6:30 and Middle School on Sunday nights at 6pm. 12 - Annual Report 2014-15 Fun! In addition to the life-changing retreats and events, we also like having fun! Some of those events have been the 100ft water-slide, Middle School Food Fight, Parent vs. Student paintball, Boys vs. Girls Nerfwar, and many more activities. ministry updates God-honoring Dance & Social Time One of the vital ministries we have added has been giving students an alternative to the dances at the local schools. We offer a God-honoring environment to dance, socialize, and connect with students from other youth groups and schools. This year we had students from GCA, Granville High School, Sheridan High School, Heath, Licking Valley, Watkins, Newark, and a few others totaling 80+ students and chaperones! We learned to swing dance, line dance, and even chicken dance. Most of all, there is no pressure for inappropriate dancing and behavior. Spring Hills Baptist Church Monday Night Bible Studies Weekly Bible studies are an important part of our youth ministry that we offer for our Middle School ladies as well as high school guys and gals. Kristin Elliott teaches our Middle School Girls about topical issues relating to the Christian life. The high school ladies are taught through a mix of lecture and discussion on deeper issues of faith and apologetics. John Paul Kemmenoe leads our gentlemen on a journey of growing deeper in Christ through discussion-based teaching that centers on being a godly man in every area of our lives. This year they ended their time with a banquet honoring the ladies of the group with a special dinner. Spring Break in the Smokies This year marks our first Spring Break Trip to the Great Smokey Mountains! We had a wonderful time making new and meaningful connections and growing deeper in our faith through student led worship! A time of teaching and discussion was led by Pastor Mark Elliott in the morning, followed by small groups. Shane Huey, Youth Pastor of Veritas Church in Columbus, OH brought relevant and passionate teaching in the evenings. We enjoyed the amazing views and delicious home-cooked meals as well as some memorable hikes through the Great Smokies! Our cabin was 4 stories high and featured its own movie theater, game room, indoor pool, and hot tubs. Luckily, it was large enough to accommodate the nearly 50 people who joined us on this trip. Annual Report 2014-15 - 13 Spring Hills Baptist Church annual report Pastor Jeff Houghton & his wife Teri Care and support ministry continues to touch the lives of hundreds of people through the various ministries of CareNet. CareNet consists of 5 separate ministries (Celebrate Recovery, Celebrate Recovery Youth, Pastoral Care, GriefShare and Family Matters) that all seek to bring biblical guidance and encouragement to individuals, couples and entire families. Pastor Jeff Houghton coordinates the various ministries of CareNet and is assisted by at least 32 adult volunteers who have found a meaningful avenue of service in ministries that God uses to change lives. Men’s Ministry “8” has continued to be an effective means of discipleship for men at Spring Hills. Over 60 men have gathered on Saturday mornings for Bible study, fellowship and prayer as they study transforming truths taught by Jesus. The focus of the study is the Sermon on the Mount. Men study through this in consecutive 8 week segments (thus the term “8”). The men also enjoy 3 breakfasts throughout the course of each 8 week study. Men’s Tuesday Morning Bible Study The early bird gets the worm and the men that gather on Tuesday mornings at 6 AM in the Fireside Room find encouragement and fellowship as they gather weekly to study God’s Word. 14 - Annual Report 2014-15 ministry updates Celebrate Recovery Celebrate Recovery was started over 20 years ago by John Baker who had a dream of creating a ministry for Christians to experience the freeing power of Jesus Christ for life’s hurts, habits and hang-ups. We have been blessed to see Celebrate Recovery become such a vital part of the ministry of Spring Hills over the past 10 years. The mission of Celebrate Recovery is to fellowship and celebrate God’s healing power through a Christ centered biblically based 12 step approach to overcoming life’s hurts, habits and hang-ups. Our motto is “Changed Lives”. To that end Celebrate Recovery provided instruction and support to an average weekly attendance of over 30 adults and over 40 children and teens throughout this fiscal year. Spring Hills Baptist Church Celebrate Recovery Youth The same life changing principles that are at work in Celebrate Recovery are also at work in the lives of children and teens through Celebrate Recovery Youth! To date this fiscal year the volunteers at CRY have ministered to an average of 40 children and teens on a weekly basis. These students are learning that God loves them and is there for them. They are learning to turn to God, to pray and avoid the myriad avenues of temptation that come to them in today’s world. Celebrate Recovery Youth is a real ministry to help real students deal with the real world! We have been privileged to witness God’s healing and freedom come to men and women who have found freedom through Jesus Christ. GriefShare In January of 2015 GriefShare was re-introduced at Spring Hills and was met with immediate favor. 8-10 individuals who have experienced the loss of a loved one met together on Monday nights to learn, comfort one another and be comforted in their grieving process. Dixie Merrill and Pastor Jeff co-facilitate this grief recovery experience and each add their expertise to the overall process. Celebrate Recovery Youth has two age groupings. Celebration Station is for children in first through fifth grade and The Landing is for students in grades 6-12. CRY is truly a ministry that is in the trenches of where so many of today’s young people live. We are fortunate to have a volunteer staff who serve in these trenches and are making a significant difference in the lives of children and teens! Annual Report 2014-15 - 15 Spring Hills Baptist Church Family Matters God’s Not Dead On Friday, January 16 the Family Ministry department of Spring Hills along with the Youth Ministry department co-sponsored the movie event “God’s Not Dead”. Over 100 people came out on a cold Friday night to enjoy popcorn and refreshments as they watched a Christian themed movie addressing a key issue for believers in today’s world. Heart2Heart Marriage Retreat Communication: Overcoming Barriers, Building Bridges was the theme of this years’ marriage retreat which was once again held in the beautiful Smokey Mountains. 14 couples from Spring Hills made the trek to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to learn, have fun and make some new friends on what is a highly popular retreat experience. Each year couples from Spring Hills get away for a fun and relaxing weekend while focusing on how to take their relationship to the next level. Pastor Jeff Houghton and his wife, Teri, have been leading retreats for 16 years and provide opportunities for fun and fellowship while providing practical teaching designed to strengthen marriages. For the past two years the destination for the retreat has been the beautiful Smokey Mountains. This has been a popular destination and just might be the scene for next year’s retreat as well! Spring Hills Riders 2014 was the third season for Spring Hills Riders. Several new individuals saddled up their bikes and joined in for fun, faith and fellowship. Spring Hills Riders has both men and women who participate. Some of the women ride with their spouse and some have their own bikes. All men and women who have a love for riding motorcycles are welcome to join in the fun. 16 - Annual Report 2014-15 annual report ministry updates Spring Hills Baptist Church Pastor Jeff Smith & his wife Nancy 2014 was a busy and fruitful year for the Congregational Care Ministry. This ministry includes visits to those within our fellowship who are in Nursing Homes, in the Hospital, or are Homebound. Last year our Congregational Care Ministers met with 21 members on a regular basis. We also visited those within our fellowship who were in the hospital. Our Congregational Care Ministers made up of 9 caregivers made 132 visits in 2015. These visits augment those visits made by our Pastoral Staff. We also have a team of people who plan, arrange, and provide meals for funerals and other crisis situations. Spring Hills University Course: “How to Minister to Others” We are planning to present a class entitled: “How to Minister to Others”in the Fall of 2015. This class includes training on Visitation, Emergency/Crisis, Death and Dying, and Grief. Our Ministry Team was able to use their training to better minister to others. We look forward to anyone interested in the Congregational Care Ministry to join us this fall. Pastoral Care Our congregation is blessed to have godly pastors who are eager to serve our congregation and community. Each of these men are eager to meet and pray with anyone who calls on them. Our pastors also offer biblical guidance and encouragement to the members of our congregation and community. Two of our pastors hold Masters degrees in Pastoral Care and Counseling (Senior Pastor Tom Pound and Associate Pastor Jeff Houghton) enabling them to serve the needs of our congregation in specific ways. Care Notes Ministry Our Care Notes Ministry, another dimension of the Congregational Care Ministry, gives those within our church family the opportunity to shower our members who have experienced illness, discouragement, or the death of a loved one with cards and letters of encouragement. Many positive comments have come from the recipients of our Care Notes Ministry. One comment was from a family who wrote: To Pastor Jeff Smith: “I was going through such a rough time in my life. I have never been through anything like this. I was wondering what was going to happen to me as I faced my new diagnosis of cancer. Within a couple of hours of my call two ladies from Spring Hills just showed up and ministered to me. I don’t know what I would have done without them. Thank you for knowing what I needed.” Annual Report 2014-15 - 17 Spring Hills Baptist Church annual report Pastor Coley Mull & his wife Tonya In August 2014 our small group ministry was refocused and “rebranded” under the direction of Pastor Coley Mull. It is our goal to develop a more connected church body through coed small groups, men’s small groups, and women’s small groups. These Connection Groups are helping us build generations for Christ by getting more people involved in Bible study each week, and by maintaining strong relationships with others in the church. 2014 was a year where we saw a record number of first time visitors to our church. Whether through the Eternity Drama or the First Time Visitor gift bags, we are seeing God draw people to our church each week. A main focus of the Assimilation ministry is to follow up with everyone who visits Spring Hills and to help them find opportunities to be connected here. It was another great year for Spring Hills University classes. SHU is an exciting way to connect to God’s Word with God’s people. Participants learned more about God’s will in many relevant areas of life. Some of the classes offered discussed relationship boundaries, prophecy, biblical leadership, financial stewardship, prayer and world religions. Stay tuned for more to come from the Discipleship ministry in 2015! Spring Hills University Spring Hills University is our discipleship program for high school through adult ages. We offer a wide variety of classes that will assist you in learning more about God’s Word in a classroom context with others who are also interested in learning. SHU is a great way to meet people and grow in your faith. If you have interest in taking a class, teaching a class, or have ideas for future classes, please contact Pastor Coley. The Fall session of SHU will be September 27 – November 22. Look for exciting course options in one of our three tracks; Love, Live, and Lead. This will be an exciting part of your journey to become more Like Jesus. 18 - Annual Report 2014-15 ministry updates Spring Hills Baptist Church Host Teams Connection Groups Connection Groups at Spring Hills Baptist Church are vital to the overall vision of “Building Generations for Jesus Christ.” We live in a connected world: smartphones, tablets, social media, the cloud, wifi, the list gould go on. However, it is clear that intentional connections with friends, neighbors, and families are not happening. The goal of each Connection Group is to give people scheduled opportunities to connect with followers of Jesus and the Bible. You were indeed made to connect! Prayerfully consider joining a Connection Group today. Welcoming new members and guests into our church is a top priority at Spring Hills. We have seven host teams with responsibility to meet and greet each and every person coming to worship. Host team members are out “first impression” of our “first reflection” of the light of Christ. If you would be interested in serving at two services per month, please contact Coley Mull. 34 (Number of small groups in 2014!) 384 (Number of people connected by small groups!) Annual Report 2014-15 - 19 Spring Hills Baptist Church annual report Pastor Gary Kirkpatrick & his wife Melodee Our Mission & Children’s Ministries exist to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom into the nations through spiritual generations of laborers praying, living and discipling among the lost. This premise is built upon one over-arching truth: the remarkable love our creator God has for His people and the call placed within us to know Him through a personal relationship with His Son Jesus Christ! Time and time again we see firsthand “God delighting in our conformity amidst our diversity”. Conformity to His ways as revealed in the Bible; and diversity in the portrayal of this allegiance through all ages, families and relationships! Thus, it remains our goal to create an atmosphere where each believer can see his or her part in reaching this objective. Preschool Under the guidance of both our Preschool Ministry Directors, Dan and Brittany Pound, it has been a tremendously BLESSED year! We have witnessed first-hand a season of spiritual hunger, called and qualified adult leaders and great strides of obedience as God’s Truth has gone forth! Weekend services continue to utilize an age-appropriate teaching curriculum entitled – “KID MO”. Students and families alike have fallen deeper in love with God’s Word, His call to hear and respond to His voice, worship Him, and make Him the focus of their lives!! Likewise this increased enthusiasm has been tied to increased attendance: Saturday night and Sunday 11 am morning services both range from 45-50 children; and Sunday 9 am is around 25. Volunteer Leaders serving in the Department now exceed over 35 on any given weekend!! - Dan & Brittany Pound, Preschool Co-Directors 124 each week (Average Wee Worship attendance!) 20 - Annual Report 2014-15 Journeyland Our School-Age Children’s Journeyland Program has now moved into its seventh year!! Through the dedicated leadership of 35 adult and junior staff volunteers on a weekly basis, six rotating thematic “teaching stations” were utilized. Both Old & New Testament Biblical Characters, basic Christian Doctrine, Global Outreach, the Plan of Salvation, Mission Partners and outside speakers were represented during the course of the year as God spoke to His “Beloved Children” – drawing them deeper in love with Him!! 96 each week (Average Journeyland attendance!) 118 each month (Number of volunteers in Wee Worship!) ministry updates Spring Hills Baptist Church Easter Celebration Kids Kamp The Annual Easter Children’s Celebration was a delightful success, gathering over 550 folks for the traditional Egg Hunt, games, face painting, a petting zoo, lunch, and telling of the Easter Gospel account! This five-day, annual summer Statewide Baptist resident camp is for children going into grades 4-7. It is described as “…The Greatest Mission Education and Bible Study Camp experience for Children in Ohio”. Each year hundreds and hundreds of children from all corners of Ohio, walks of life and family backgrounds make the discovery that: - God Loves them, - Jesus died and rose for them and … - ultimately calls them to profess a personal relationship with Him! Games, crafts, campfires and dipping in the ole’ swimmin’ hole round out the week with both challenge and memories. All-in-all, this camp has been a long -standing fixture in our children’s ministry as it grows, shapes and molds each participant into more of Jesus’ likeness – for more of His Glory! Annual Report 2014-15 - 21 Spring Hills Baptist Church AWANA – an acronym intending to remind us that: “Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed”, has been bringing the Truth of God’s Word to thousands and thousands of children, ages 3-12, at Spring Hills Baptist for 20 + years! This International Children’s Outreach & Discipleship Program is offered here each Wednesday of the school year, from 6 – 8 pm. This year alone we saw children receive Christ as personal Savior, grow in love with Him and His Word, share their budding faith and “hide” hundreds upon hundreds of Bible verses in their hearts that they “may not sin against Him!!” Each week, between 130-150 students and leaders, gather corporately for prayer, verse recitation, games and crafts. Highlights of the year also included our LOCAL MISSION OUTREACH (that collected over $700 for missions), the Grand Prix Car Kit Race and visits from Missionaries, Pastors and Special Guests! 22 - Annual Report 2014-15 annual report 134 each week (Average AWANA attendance!) ministry updates Spring Hills Baptist Church Vacation Bible School Our Summer VBS Program is always a BIG DEAL around Spring Hills – some 500+ BIG!! From the excited kiddos & trained leaders themselves, to our drama/worship Team, Missionary presentations, crafts, Bible Stories, snacks and games… VBS ROCKS BIGTIME!! OVER 100 professions of faith and decisions for Lordship were made and THOUSANDS of dollars collected for Gospel Missions!! VBS seems to always bring out the best in our youngsters, their parents and our dedicated, sacrificial and FUN Staffers!! All in all, we are “VBS” -- Very Blessed to Serve!! To God be ALL Glory! Annual Report 2014-15 - 23 Spring Hills Baptist Church annual report Pastor Brad Pilkington & his wife Paula The Spring Hills Worship Ministry seeks to encourage followers of Christ to become life-long worshipers of God, going deeper and growing richer in the worship of Jesus Christ, and inviting others to come along! The most significant part of Worship Ministry occurs every weekend at Spring Hills: our Saturday and Sunday weekend worship services. How blessed we are to have such a servant-hearted and talented worship team! They invite us into the presence of the Lord through praise each and every weekend of the year. Weekend Worship Team Weekend Worship Team members include the preacher, vocalists and instrumentalists, audio and media technicians, HisHands sign language interpreters, and in a coordinated effort, the Admin Team, the Host Team, Security Team, Facility Team, Journeyland Leadership Team, Nursery/Preschool Care Team, and the Offering Counting Team.

Sunday, 9:00 a.m. - Acoustic Led primarily by Pastor Tom Pound and Brad Pilkington, SHBC Worship Pastor. This service drops the electric guitars and drums, and allows for a more “acoustic” feel and sound. You’ll typically enjoy a hymn or two in this service, either the way you remember them, or possibly presented in a fresh arrangement. Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - Contemporary Also led primarily by Pastor Tom and Pastor Brad. Here you have a style that is somewhere between Saturday night and the Sunday 9:00 service.

I want them to have full confidence because they have complete understanding of God’s secret plan, which is Christ himself. In Him, lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:2-3 (NLT) “He (the LORD) will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.” Isaiah 33:6 (NIV) Who We Are We are a ministry for families who are educating some or all of their children at home (Pre-K through High School).

This ministry of prayer and helps began in October of 2008 and has since expanded to include establishing a food pantry. Generally, those who call or stop by for assistance are prayed over and interviewed to determine how we can best come alongside them. At times we assist by providing guidance to other community resources. Typically, we are able to provide assistance with food, clothing, utilities and medical expenses, but also help with emergency shelter and transportation needs. Our food pantry has proven to be a vital part of the His Hope Ministry and we are able to distribute on average 5-8 bags of food and toiletries per week. Our first priority is to help those from within our congregation. We do, however, provide assistance to those who are not a part of our congregation and often partner with other local churches and agencies such as the Licking County Coalition of Care, Salvation Army and the St. Vincent DePaul Relief Team in order to meet those needs. We have added a “Heartbeats” focus which enables members of our congregation to make donations of baby items for that ministry which will impact the lives of children. Heartbeats giving bags have been added to our display to facilitate this giving.

47 Finances Spring Hills Baptist Church SHBC Stewardship Philosophy January 2013 Spring Hills Baptist Church believes in Scripture and adheres to the verses and Biblical principles of stewardship. This document expresses the philosophy of the SHBC Elders related to tithes & offerings, operations, debt, repayment of debt and stewardship of our buildings, grounds, and assets. The Elders, as outlined in the SHBC By-Laws, are the guardians of the organization’s mission and vision. The Elders have final discretion to prayerfully determine how best to use the church’s resources, facilities and property. This will be in consultation with church pastors, staff and our Stewardship & Personnel (S&P) Team. The Elders have final authority and responsibility in all financial matters, and have wide latitude to direct the financial priorities of the church. 1) We believe God’s Word provides both specific and implied direction for born-again believers and local churches as it relates to money, possessions, and finances: a) God is the Creator of all, and we are stewards. We do not “own” anything; everything (property, finances, assets, etc.) we have is because God allows us to be responsible for it for a season. All born-again believers need to live as visitors here, and view our belongings in the same manner. (I Peter 1:17, Hebrews 11:13) b) Scripture is clear regarding the responsibly and privilege of giving “first fruits” back to God in recognition of His role as our provision and provider. SHBC believes that the Biblical standard for first fruits tithing is 10% of all income and belongings. We heartily encourage all believers to diligently strive to demonstrate obedience to God by offering a percentage tithe. (Genesis 28:2022, Leviticus 27:30-32 Deuteronomy 26:1215, Malachi 3:10, 2 Corinthians 8:11-12, 2 Corinthians 9:7) c) According to Scripture, individual or corporate debt is not sinful. Debt, in and 48 - Annual Report 2014-15 of itself, is not good or evil. However, God’s Word does caution against debt and gives examples of the consequences of indebtedness. (Deuteronomy 28:15-48, Psalm 37:21, Proverbs 6:1-5, Proverbs 22:7) d) There are no examples in Scripture of debt or indebtedness being used to glorify God or expand His Kingdom. e) God’s Word gives many examples of how God used his people to fund ministry, care for the needy & expand His Kingdom: Building the Tabernacle (Exodus 25: 1-9, Exodus 35: 20-29, Exodus 36: 4-7) Building the Temple (I Chronicles 29: 1-20) Restoring the Temple (II Kings 12: 1-12, II Chronicles 24: 8-14) Caring for those displaced at Pentecost (Acts 2: 44, 45, Acts 4: 32-35) Famine Relief in Jerusalem (I Corinthians 16: 1-3, II Corinthians 8: 1-15) Church at Philippi’s Support of Paul’s Ministry (Philippians 4: 10-20) 2) Spring Hills Baptist Church may use a variety of ways to help fund and provide for local, regional & international ministries. This will include: weekly offerings during worship services; special offerings; fundraising events & dinners; capital campaigns and/or other strategies as appropriate. We will not use lotteries, raffles or other chance or gambling-type methods to raise funds for church operations or ministry support. 3) Any and all expenditures, annual or nonbudgeted, will be evaluated on the basis of their alignment with SHBC’s values, ministry priorities, enhancement to church property and financial position. 4) Additions to facility or property, or obtaining additional property, will not occur without the full presentation of a business plan (typical of what is expected by investors or a lending Finances Spring Hills Baptist Church SHBC Stewardship Philosophy January 2013 institution) to the appropriate SHBC leadership. Any conversations regarding significant facility expansion, property acquisition, encumbering the church with debt, or other major decisions need to be discussed collaboratively with the Elders, S&P Team, SHBC pastors, SHBC staff, and the ministry/ministries interested in expansion. 5) This business plan may include, but not be limited to: - Executive summary of project or ministry; - Description of entity or ministry; - Needs analysis for ministry or project; - Strategy & implementation, including: oversight & management; expected personnel & volunteer needs, outcomes & results,project timelines, budget and expected timelines for construction and payment of any incurred debt; - Facility & equipment needs; - Communication plan, including: primary & secondary audiences, detailed methods (i.e., web, social networking, events, etc.); - Financial analysis, including: detailed cash flow projections, anticipated revenue sources, demonstration of long-term financial sustainability for project or ministry. 6) Additional debt for additions to the property would not be considered by SHBC leadership until the current mortgage is paid off unless a reasonable percentage of funds of the proposed project have been raised in advance. The SHBC Elders will determine a percentage after consulting with other SHBC leadership and ministries. additional fundraising strategies or projects may be implemented to accelerate debt retirement. 9) Fundraisers/debt-reduction campaigns for SHBC or associated ministries will be structured and timed in such a way that giving to SHBC budget would not be affected. It will be stressed that giving to these efforts is over and above the regular giving of tithes and offerings, This organizational philosophy of stewardship is adopted unanimously by the Elders of Spring Hills Baptist Church and is subject to review and revision at the prayerful discretion of the Elder body.
