In this 2022 Year End Board Report, you’re invited to gain insight into the behind-the-scenes work of the Free Methodist Church in Southern California’s (FMCSC) Management Group. This group, reporting to the Board of Administration, is a distinct corporation tasked with overseeing and leveraging the conference’s assets for the benefit of ministry expansion.

The Management Group aims to reach the ambitious goal of having the Endowment fully fund the conference, thereby directing all income from assessments towards ministry and Kingdom expansion. Amid the challenges of COVID-19 and market fluctuations, the group has maintained a stable investment strategy, which consistently outperforms the market.

The report also delves into the areas of Property Management and Loans, a critical part of their role, including the evaluation of property value and earning potential, property management, and loan services for local churches. Their administrative services further extend to providing bookkeeping and property management assessment for FMCSC churches.

Experience firsthand the strategic planning and dedication of the FMCSC Management Group as they navigate financial complexities with an eye towards creating a sustainable future for the conference. Join us in envisioning a future where the FMCSC can continue its work of loving God, loving people, and making disciples, fueled by a robust and sustainable financial foundation.
