Stewarding Resources for Kingdom Expansion: 2022 Year End Board Report – FMCSC Management Group

May 19, 2023

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.

Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin
Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin

Bishop E. Kenneth Martin delivers a prophetic challenge to the Free Methodist Church, confronting deep-rooted issues of spiritual bondage, systemic oppression, and the church’s complacency. “Churches are dying in a cage,” he declares, calling for a radical shift in how the church addresses:

– Spiritual chains of sin and oppression
– Historical and ongoing impacts of slavery
– Diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges
– The church’s reluctance to engage difficult conversations
– Breaking free from “nasty” church politics and self-serving leadership

“This is a season of manifestation,” Martin says, urging a breakthrough from 2025 to 2035 that will transform the church locally and globally.
