Steve Ebling, Nominee for 2013 Vice Moderator
Ordained in 1985, Steve has served as pastor of the New Hope Presbyterian Church in Fishers since March of

than nine years, and was an associate pastor of the Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church in the south

from Princeton Theological Seminary, and his Doctor of Ministry degree from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He
is married to Dianne and they have four children, Jennifer (26), Sam (20), Joe (20) and Luke (18). For fun Steve’s

Presbytery of Whitewater Valley
STATEMENT OF FAITH
DONNA STUDEVENT
November 7, 2012
I believe in a triune God. Three in One, yet separate. This almighty, ever loving God who created all
of earth and heaven, including man, as the story is told in Genesis. I believe in a God who loved his
creation of man enough to send his only son, Jesus Christ, to live among us, suffer and die for us,
arise for us and provide eternal life for sinners, such as I. For God so loved the world, that he sent
his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
I believe in the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives continually. This third part of the triune God
is a constant presence, a guide, a comforter to us at all times. We are never separated from the love
of God. Romans 8:38,39 remind us that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in
Christ Jesus our Lord. Nothing becomes impossible for us with the presence of God always with
us. Matthew 19:26 and Mark 10:27 each remind me that for people, things can seem impossible, but
for God all things are possible. It is this constant affirming presence in our lives that allows us to
feel the peace that God loves us unconditionally.
I believe in the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion. We are baptized into the family of God,
adopted into God’s family, by our acknowledgement of our sinful nature and repentance of those
sins. Through God’s redemptive love the water of baptism cleanses our sins and renews our life,
enabling us to begin a new life in Christ, with the presence of the Holy Spirit to accompany us on
our endeavors as we walk the path of life on this earth. We are given gifts of the Spirit and I believe
that we encourage one another to discover and use these gifts.
The Holy Sacrament of Communion allows us to always remember and celebrate the sacrifice our
Lord made for us, sinners. The very fact that Jesus Christ walked among humans, loved us,
ministered to us, went into the Garden, prayed, was betrayed, went to trial, was judged, carried a
cross, suffered immeasurable pain, died and was buried is overwhelming. What love was
demonstrated by our loving Father in Heaven. What love was demonstrated by a loving Son, on
earth. What a loving presence remains for us always in the Holy Spirit. Christ died and arose! This
sacrificial love allows us to be assured of our eternal home in Heaven. The Sacrament of
Communion allows us, the community of God, the community of believers, the opportunity to
remember and celebrate through the bread, Christ’s body broken in pain and suffering, for us and
the cup, Christ’s blood which was shed for our salvation. Communion also prepares us in our
remembering to depart to serve in sharing this wonderful aspect of our faith with others.
I believe in the Holy Scripture as the authoritative Word of God. All of our rules and guidelines for
our life are right there. James 1:25 tells me that “truly happy people are those who carefully study
God’s perfect law that makes people free, and they continue to study it. They do not forget what
they heard, but they obey what God’s teaching says. Those who do this will be happy.” I continue
to study the Holy Scripture, seeking to know God’s laws.
I am continually amazed by the power of such a loving God. This God who loved ME, a sinner, this
God who sent His Son, Jesus Christ, for ME, a sinner and this God who provides a constant
resource to ME, a sinner, in through the presence of the Holy Spirit in MY life. Nothing that I can
ever do can repay this sovereign God. I am justified by my faith, not by any works I can or could
ever do. God’s grace is sufficient for me. It is all I need now or ever. I can walk any road, climb
any mountain, enter any valley because of my faith in this amazing God, who loves ME.
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1

Presbytery of Whitewater Valley 2013 MINIMUM TERMS OF CALL November 7, 2012
Whitewater Valley Presbytery
2013 MINIMUM TERMS OF CALL
Full-Time Pastorates
MANDATORY (2012 in parentheses) With Manse Provided No Manse Provided
Minimum Cash Salary ($33,856) $34,432 ($44,013) $44,761
Manse Value Maximum ($10,157) $10,329
Accountable Travel Reimbursement (minimum) ($2,800) $2,800 (est) ($2,800) $2,800 (est)
(per session-approved policy, mileage @ IRS rate)
Professional Development Allowance ($1,200) $1,200 ($1,200) $1,200
(vouchered, per year, cumulative to four years)
Four Weeks Vacation (including four Sundays) OR
Five Weeks Vacation (including five Sundays) with 15+ years experience
Two weeks professional development leave per year (cumulative up to eight weeks)
Full Pension (2012 = 32.25%) based on Effective Salary,
which is Cash Salary + Housing + Utilities (if paid) + Deferred Compensation (if paid)
Full moving expenses (if applicable)
For additional consideration:
The median effective salary for Whitewater Valley Presbytery as of May 2011, reported by the Board of Pensions, was $60,166. The
median effective salary for the Synod of Lincoln Trails as of May 2012, reported by the Board of Pensions, was $54,955/
1. The Board of Pensions determines manse value as 30% of (cash salary + utilities & housing expenses + employee 403b) or fair
market value. Fair Rental Value of church-owned housing must be determined by a qualified real estate appraisal and normally
is not to be valued at more than 30% of Mandatory Minimum Cash Salary without clear evidence of actual value.
2. Mileage Reimbursement is an expense of the church and not compensation. It is substantiated and vouchered at the current IRS
approved rate.
3. Pension dues (32.25% in 2012) are the responsibility of the employing congregations. The Board of Pensions has a helpful dues
calculator available under the treasurer’s link at www.pensions.org
4. A pastor is liable for a percentage of effective salary for Social Security and Medicare taxes. The Presbytery recommends
employing congregations pay up to ½ the Social Security tax as an offset. Amounts not in excess of 50% are not included in
calculating effective salary for the Board of Pensions, but are considered taxable income by the IRS. This is intended to help
equalize the difference created by being taxed for Social Security at the IRS self-employed rate.
5. The Presbytery recognizes that some employing congregations, in addition to salary, provide an amount of Effective Salary to
reimburse ministers for a portion of medical costs not covered by the Board of Pensions (including dental and eye care,
vouchered). If your congregation chooses to establish such a reimbursement program, the Committee on Ministry recommends
that the congregation’s tax and/or legal advisor should be consulted in the process.”
6. Vacation and Continuing Education are not pro-rated for part-time positions.
7. There is no longer a Board of Pensions cap on Effective Salary for pension purposes. Medical dues (20.25%) are paid on up to
200% of median salary. Pension dues (12%) are paid on full effective salary.
8. The Committee on Ministry strongly encourages congregations and pastors to create a matching fund for a 403b Retirement
Savings Plan (available through the Board of Pensions). This is especially true for congregations that provide a manse, since the
pastor is not accumulating equity on a home. Note: Employer matching payments are not included in calculating effective salary
for the Board of Pensions.
Effective Salary = Salary + Housing + Utilities + Deferred compensation (e.g. 403b, insurance annuity, etc.). See the “Total
Effective Salary Calculator” at www.pensions.org for additional information.

2012 $33,856 $44,013 3.6%

Explanation of proposed changes for 2013:
Minimum Cash Salary: COLA for 2013 will be 1.7%.
Travel Reimbursement (minimum): The 2013 standard rate will be released by the IRS later this year and is subject to change;
reimbursement should be at the rate in effect at the time of travel. The current rate for business miles driven through December 31,
2012 is 55.5 cents a mile.
Professional Development Allowance: Churches should be encouraged to offer more support for professional development than the
minimum whenever possible.
Note that the percentage basis for Social Security and Medicare taxes is not specified here, since it is subject to change.
The median effective salary for Whitewater Valley and for the Synod of Lincoln Trails as established by the Board of Pensions is
given, rather than the average of salaries reported to the Presbytery, since the Presbytery figure is distorted by the omission of data
from churches not reporting.

, 2012
Finance Committee Report
Council recommend the 2013 Mission Focus Units Budget (2nd read).
[The budget presentation includes disbursements recommended by the Mission & Growth Team
and 1st read adjustments to the Shared Mission distribution methodology - 55% to 69%
Presbytery, 14% to 10% SOLT, and 31% to 21% GAMC.]
[Items relating to the operating ministry of the presbytery are monitored and
reported using this accounting fund. Per Capita gifts from our membership/churches provide the primary resources
needed to fund the approved operating ministry model.]
The Mission Operations Fund is performing close to forecast through August, 2012 with resources exceeding
the same period last year by roughly $5,000 and ministry investments in line with the budget.
MO details a surplus of $92,473 on 8/31/2012. This is primarily due to the majority of per capita resources
being received during the first and second quarters of 2012. The surplus is expected to decline over the
course of 2012 as receipts slow during the third/fourth quarters and budgeted investments from the fund are
made throughout the year.
The Presbytery has received 85% of the total per capita share from the churches as of 8/31/2012.
[Items relating to presbytery basic mission partnerships and ministries are monitored
and reported using this accounting fund. Basic Mission (Shared & Directed) gifts from our churches provide the
primary resources to fund the current basic mission model.]
MFU details a surplus of $8,010 on 8/31/2012.The Mission Focus Fund is underperforming forecast through
August, 2012 with resources below the same period last year by approximately (-$26,000). A significant
percentage of the shortfall appears to be timing related as several anticipated Basic Mission gifts were not
received until the September reporting period. Ministry investments are also below budget as quarterly
disbursements to our mission partners do not take place until the September reporting period.
Based on the 2012 pledges received, fund receipts are expected to fall short of our budgetary forecast for the
period by roughly 10%. The Finance Committee is not recommending a budget adjustment for the 2012
period as unbudgeted resources from dismissed congregations combined with a decrease in mission
investments (i.e., NQR) should serve to offset this shortfall for 2012.
The report details balances available on 8/31/2012 relating to
presbytery grants and related mission partnerships (applicable to the funds stated purpose). Please note the
addition of Fund 017 “New Ministry Initiative Grant Fund”
Presbytery account balances are adequate for the cash flow
needs of operating, mission and grants funding.
