2015-2016 - Kingsland Baptist Church

2015-2016
BUDGET
The impact Kingsland Baptist Church is having in the
lives of people is amazing. Your generous support
makes all that possible. We have the distinct joy to be
part of the most epic event in human history – to share
God’s love through Jesus.
God is the ultimate supplier of the resources we need
to fulfill our mission and He uses each person who
calls Kingsland their church home as the means for
supply. You are invited to be a part of this mission as
you invest your time, talents, and treasures.

MISSIONS: ($1,014,900)
Our mission’s ministry continues to
mobilize 3000+ Kingsland volunteers
annually to serve at home and abroad.
Kingsland’s missions ministry is
committed to moving toward those who
are in the greatest need. In cooperation
with our local and global partners, we are sharing the good news,
planting churches, equipping church leaders, and battling the front
lines of poverty, disease, hunger, injustice, and exploitation.
Includes:
• Local, state, and national
cooperative association support
• Caring for Katy
• Pregnancy Help Center Support
• Missionary support for 40 missionaries
• Missionary scholarships
• Numerous International Initiatives
DISCIPLESHIP: ($395,750)
All discipleship at Kingsland is built on the foundation of a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. From newborn infants to our senior
adults, our discipleship strategy is to equip parents to become the
primary faith trainers in their home.
Includes:
• Discipleship support for all age graded
ministries
• Support for our Special Buddies
program
• Training and equipping for hundreds
of leaders
• Special events such as our annual
Parent Summit and Life in Christ Conference
• Wednesday night Foundations and Kingsland
University
WORSHIP: ($157,000)
Worship is a high calling on the life of all believers. It
has eternal significance that reaches far beyond the
songs we sing and into our daily lives. At Kingsland
you will find that we express worship through scripture,
music, prayer, the arts, technology, service, and
discipleship. Our prayer is that you will come to church
ready to give God the worship that He is worthy of.
Includes:
• Adult Choir, Band, Worship Arts Ministry for
Kids (WAM), One Voice
• Current support for two worship venues
• Equipping & training for worship and media team
• Special music events and concerts
• Update and maintenance on media technology
& sound systems
VISION & GROWTH: ($615,000)
Budgeting for Vision and Growth helps our church focus on aligning
the unique gifts and resources that God has given Kingsland in
order to take advantage of opportunities to further His Kingdom.
For our church, this is not simply projection-based planning but the
realization that through prayer, obedience, and faithful stewardship
we can be a catalyst to help bring about a future that is in alignment
with God’s will.
Includes:
• Growth Strategy
• Great Commission
• External Ministry Projects
• Strategic Initiatives
ADMINISTRATION & COMMUNICATIONS:
($249,900 / $102,500 = $352,400)
Office expenses for 2015 continue to shift from paper-led processes
to technology-based communications. Adjusting office expenses
to this trend allows us to upgrade our use of color, videos, and new
software to enhance programming. Church news travels fast
via our communications department. From weekly emails
and the worship guide to social media and our website, our
staff uses different platforms to ensure the Kingsland family
stays informed and connected.
Includes:
• Computer and IT maintenance and support
• Office equipment, supplies, and furniture
• Social media, website, and marketing
• Printing, copying, and design solutions
BUILDING & GROUNDS: ($945,700)
Although made of ordinary bricks and mortar,
our campus radiates with the spirit of a
growing and thriving congregation. It
provides the setting for worship, fellowship,
and faith formation. Day or night, morning
or evening, drive by and you’ll see our
campus hard at work serving the Kingsland
family and our community.
Includes:
• All utilities
• Campus development and maintenance
• Property insurance
• Landscape
• General Cleaning supplies
• Capital Improvement
PERSONNEL: ($3,979,000)
Every dollar that is spent on staffing is a dollar
spent on ministry. Scripture makes it clear that we
honor God in caring for those whom God has called to
serve in church work (1 Timothy 5:17-18). Evaluating the funds
that go toward employees is a very important responsibility, and
it is taken very seriously by our Personnel Committee.
Includes compensation and benefits for our staff of forty-eight full
time and twenty-four part-time employees.
SHEPHERDING: ($340,250)
The Lord Jesus summarized the purpose of His earthly life in these
impassioned statements:
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was
lost... For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give His life a ransom for many (Luke 19:10; Mark 10:45).
From the pulpit to the hospital room, from co-workers to
our neighbors our job is to love, serve, and live a life that
witnesses the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
Includes:
• Pastoral Leadership Development
• Support for our Counsel & Care Ministry
• Outreach events such as Upward
Basketball and Winter Blast
• Prayer & Hospital Visitation Ministry
• Internship Ministry
As we look ahead to the 2015 proposed budget, please remember
that the numbers listed are much more than dollar amounts. They
represent opportunities the Lord has laid before us for ministry
and the advancement of the gospel.
Total 2015-2016 Operating Budget: $7.8 million
Represents a 2% increase of current budget
