SOJOURN EAST ASSETS F I N A N C I A L A S S E T S Sojourn church East is fiscally sound and giving exceeded its operating budget for the first time this past year. The church budget is $1,872,000 for FY 2018-19. The giving campaign ends in November of 2020. Sojourn East has 45 days of cash on hand in reserve with the goal of having 60 days by the end of 2019-20 and 90 days on hand the following year. The church attenders are financially stable. The median household income of the St. Matthews area is $63,284. G R O W I N G C O N G R E G A T I O N God is clearly working at Sojourn East. The church has grown numerically and financially. During our 2019 Easter service there were 39 baptisms across 3 services with an attendance of 1900 people. An increase in giving has allowed for new full and part time staff positions to be filled. Our Men’s and Women’s Bible studies meet weekly and have grown in numbers. We are continuing to build bridges in the East End of Louisville in various ways including mercy initiatives like Affordable Christmas and Medical Clinic as well as outreach events like Trunk or Treat, Vacation Bible School and Summer Movie Nights. The establishment of a Mother’s Day Out Program has also increased neighborhood connections. We have an active Foster and Adoption team that connects families at Sojourn East who are touched by Adoption and Foster Care as well as providing some financial assistance for those pursuing adoption. 15
SOJOURN EAST ASSETS U N T A P P E D G I F T S Sojourn East has a strong culture of authenticity and vulnerability and the congregation has a high level of trust in the church leadership. Our church is growing in age and racial diversity. Our church has a well of untapped potential and willing servants. Our church lawn and green space, playground and facilities still boast untapped potential. As we grow in our relationships throughout the East End we hope to find more uses for this unique space. P A R T N E R S H I P S A N D O U T R E A C H Currently we partner with several non-profits that serve the East End of Louisville. St. Matthews Area Ministries (St. MAM) seeks to unite the resources and people of area congregations to effectively meet community needs. Orphan Care Alliance (OCA) serves children and families affected by foster care and adoption and has a vision for the body of Christ to lead the efforts of caring for the foster care and adoptive community in Kentucky and southern Indiana. 16
