In an effort to be more transparent, the Finance and Administration office is going to be consistently sharing where we are as a conference are in regards to the giving versus what is needed for us to continue our impact. This giving supports our ministries, outreach programs, employees and daily operations. 

See the chart to the right for where we stand as a conference as of the end of July. Currently, our collection rates are as follows:

• NIC Apportionments - 70%
• General Church Apportionments - 39%
• Health and Pension - 79%
• Property Insurance - 72%

Every contribution makes a difference in sustaining our conference’s mission and impact in the community. If you are not sure where your church stands on their contributions, please reach out to your pastor or church treasurer. 

Payments can be made online through the Prosper system. All checks for these items should be mailed to the Conference Lockbox, PO BOX 5646, Carol Stream, IL 60197-5646. Mailing checks to the Conference office or any other lockbox delays applying the check to your account. The correct address is conveniently located on all invoices you receive for the church.

You can contact the Conference Finance Staff with questions. To ensure you are talking to the correct person, please reach out following:

Together, we can ensure that our church continues to thrive and serve others.
