B. District Superintendent

Greetings in the powerful name of Jesus! It’s a joy to welcome you to this 68th District

Assembly of the N.W. Indiana District Church of the Nazarene. A special welcome to honored

guests General Superintendent Dr. Stan Toler and Linda. Alice I have fond memories of shared

ministry with the Tolers on the Tennessee District some years ago. Stan and Linda, it’s a delight

to have you with us! We’re also privileged to have from Olivet our University President Dr.

John Bowling, and Dr’s Jill Bowling, Brian Allen and Michael Benson. These are exciting days

in the life of our University. We look forward to a wonderful ONU report at the end of this

afternoon session.

I owe a debt of gratitude to so many who have made significant contributions to the work

of the district this year:

• Sharon Hostetler continues to serve us with commitment and grace as office assistant and

district treasurer.

• Mark Hostetler’s efficient and diligent work as district secretary is a gift to all of us.

• Tom Kuhn, chairman of the Finance Committee, has played a key role this year in the

transition from the previous budget format to the “Funding the Mission” plan.

• Thanks as well for the important contribution of ministry leaders: Tom Hunter, SDMI

President, Brian Leach, Children’s Ministries Director, Shawn Evans, NMI President and

Eric Wood, NYI President. We are grateful for your leadership in each of your ministry

areas.

68

• Appreciation is also due to Mark DeYoung, Chairman of the Mission Development

Board, Alberto Guang, Spanish Ministries Coordinator and Jolyne Bartley, Women’s

Ministries Director, for their leadership and commitment to these important ministries!

I also want to express my sincere appreciation to every pastor, associate and layperson

representing the N.W. Indiana family of churches for your faithful service to your local church

this past year. The local church is the avenue for God’s redemptive work in our world!

Some months ago a book was recommended to me entitled, “Speak the Truth and Point to

Hope.” I found the title intriguing. As I was thinking about the theme for this year’s assembly

the title of this book came to mind. It continued to resonate with me and I decided to adopt it as

the assembly theme! I believe it expresses two critical needs we face as we move further into

this new Millennium.

First: “Speak the Truth.” The need to speak truth is fundamental to the health of any

human relationship or organization. Truth is life giving, even when it’s difficult to hear. We

diminish our vitality when we are not willing to live into Paul’s admonition to “speak the truth in

love.” And then, “Point to Hope.” Talk about life-giving! Hope makes Paul’s list of the “big

three” in I Corinthians 13: “Now abideth faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of

these is love.” No argument here. But hope is right there close by. Hope is essential for the

survival of any person or organization. Without hope energy flags, pessimism pervades and the

future looks bleak.

So, in this my 15th report as your district superintendent, I’d like to speak some truth, at

least as I see it, and point to hope!”

69

Speaking the truth about this year’s statistics: Statistics never tell the whole story but

they do give important indication of organizational vitality! These year end results are compared

to last year’s totals.

Ministry Statistics

Church Membership: 8219, an increase of 261

New Nazarenes: 378, and increase of 78

Sunday School: 4490, an increase of 180

Morning Worship: 7311, an increase of 340

Fund Payments: Comparison to last years totals

World Evangelism Fund: 86.59% compared to 87.80%

Pensions and Benefits: 90% compared to 90.18%

Education Fund/ONU: 73.17% compared to 77.65%

District Unified Fund: 86.63% compared to 84.99%

Speaking the Truth about Fund payments: This has been a challenging year financially

for all local churches and for the district. For the first time in my tenure, perhaps ever, we had to

withdraw from our reserves to meet operating expenses, a total of $25,000. I do not

underestimate the financial challenges faced by the local church. The recession of the past two

years has hit all of us. The only way we can exist as a connectional church, however, is by the

mutual commitments we make in shared ministry and financial support.

In a comment from the first monthly report of the new year, and the first month of the

new “Funding the Mission” system, one of our pastors whose congregation had difficulty

meeting Fund allocations this past year, wrote under the report heading, “What is the most

exciting thing that has happened this month in your church?” Responded: “We paid our

70

budgets!” He continued: “We have really committed to tithing first and paying our bills second

and we are excited for the challenge and what it will do to bless our church. Later in his report

under “Areas of Concern”, he wrote: “The money is still the same, but we are working diligently

to not be concerned about it. My biggest concern actually has been from the number of church

shoppers coming in to our church lately. I have been challenging people with whether or not

they should come (here.) That may seem counter intuitive, but it has led to some significant

commitments from people. I just don’t want us to feel that becoming a destination for other

Christians is a sign of success for our true mission.” Challenges that call for commitment will

always produce results! In ministry, mission and finance, let’s continue to believe in the God

who is able to do “…exceeding, abundantly beyond all we can ask or think according to His

power at work within us!”

Speaking the truth about “Funding the Mission”: On April 1, we began the new process

for “Funding the Mission” of the Church of the Nazarene here at home and around the world.

For a couple of decades there have been ongoing conversations about how to sustain the world-

wide mission of the Church of the Nazarene and at the same time allow the local church to keep

more of their resources for local needs. No plan is perfect, but we do now have a plan. Several

key points:

• There is no set, assigned allocation as in the past.

• Total Fund contributions are based on current income, a “tithe and offering” concept,

rather than an assigned amount for each of the four budget areas

• The percentages, based on church income, are:

World Evangelism Fund: 5.5%

Pensions and Benefits Fund: 2%

71

Education Fund (Olivet Nazarene University): 2.5%

Northwest Indiana District: 5%

• While there are some exclusions, they are minimal and must meet a certain criteria to be

approved.

There were a couple of variables in the changeover from the old system to the new

system that could significantly impact the District Unified Fund this year. Accordingly, the

Finance Committee felt it prudent to set the District allocation at 5%. It is our desire to decrease

the 5% District Unified Fund going forward. Full participation by all churches in “Funding the

Mission” will assist us in doing so. I assure you that we will monitor the outcomes this year very

closely and make adjustments based on those outcomes! By the way, I’m pleased to inform you

that we are off to an excellent start in this new approach. I urge every church to commit to the

“Funding the Mission” plan. It is the best that could be found to level the playing field for all

churches.

Speaking the truth about making disciples: While “making disciples” is the mission of

the church, there is much work to be done to increase our effectiveness. The recent focus on

making disciples is absolutely right. For us to see real fruitfulness will require a fundamental

shift in the priorities of the local church and an uncommon commitment to engage in

disciplemaking as essential! The challenge of “keeping the main thing the main thing”, as the

cliché goes, always requires discipline and resolve. My question to every pastor and

congregation is this: “Is there a clear and well-defined strategy for making disciples in your

congregation?” General Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries Director Woodie Stevens

has been challenging us with this question: “Who is discipling you and who are you discipling?”

Resources abound. A new location on the district website will soon be added specifically focused

72

on disciplemaking resources for the local church. “Making Christlike disciples in the nations”

should be at the top of every local church agenda.

Speaking the truth about church planting: As a district we are not planting new churches,

and our failure to do so should be a source of concern for all of us. Dr. J.K. Warrick reminded us

last year that the only places that are experiencing real growth, not just adding people from other

churches, are those places where planting new churches is happening. In N.W. Indiana, we have

learned the hard way that the district cannot plant churches. We can partner in a variety of ways,

but only a local church or group of local churches collaborating together, can plant churches. I

must confess that I have not been effective in casting the vision and leading us forward in this

area…a painful fact! I’m grateful for pastors on the district who are committed to planting

churches. And, I believe those pastors will be active in doing so when they judge they are at a

point of readiness. I am appealing to every pastor and layperson to join me in praying for

renewed passion in this vital area. Planting new churches is still the best way to reach lost

people for Jesus Christ! Our future depends on it!

In the next few months, along with our new Mission Development Board chairman Dave

Bartley, I will be meeting with pastors in each of our four geographical areas to engage in

conversation about church planting. I will be inviting thoughts and ideas about the possibilites

for church planting in each area. I will ask every pastor to be present. My hope is that out of our

time together we will identify one location in each area which might offer the best opportunity

for planting a new church. And, I will invite conversation about how we might collaborate to

move forward. There will be no judgment, no pressure, no top down plan. Only a desire to give

us the opportunity to listen to what the God may want to say to us about planting new churches

in N.W. Indiana.

73

Speaking the truth about Re-focusing churches: Over a decade ago, I bought into the idea

that Re-focusing churches should be a top priority. I have been blessed by the support of an

Advisory Board and Mission Development board, and some pastors that bought in as well. I

must confess that I was naive about how difficult and costly it can be to lead a church in the task

of Re-focusing. I applaud the pastors and laypersons who have given strong effort in this area.

There is no doubt that the revitalization effort has borne fruit in some participating churches. In

other churches the process has been divisive, creating in some cases anger, confusion and

disunity. I’m sure I have made mistakes in attempting to lead us into this uncharted territory.

I’m sure pastors who have led ReFocusing efforts have made mistakes as well. But I wonder at

times if we understand the implications of continuing to do what we’ve always done.

Dr. Bob Broadbooks, Regional Director for the US and Canada, recently identified five

key priorities for our future as a denomination. One of those priorities was: “Vibrant Church

Renewal.” The tag line was: “We must help each local church discover new life.” Undoubtedly

this “new life” will require authentic spiritual renewal as the first priority. But it will also require

us to make adjustments in the nuts and bolts of how we do church. We must see our

communities as mission fields and behave more like missionaries. Whether using resources that

the district has developed or by whatever other means the local church thinks works best for

them, I continue to urge churches to evaluate their effectiveness in engaging the mission field in

their own community. We must “speak the truth” to ourselves, take a hard look at ministries

currently in place to determine their effectiveness, and adjust to the reality of our mission field.

Our focus must change from building programs to building people. An era of church life that has

been in place for many decades is now rapidly passing away. Churches that do not recognize

this reality will find themselves at significant risk going forward. Many already have! As a

74

district we will continue to provide resources and support to churches who recognize the need

and desire to be missional churches.

Allow me to share a few truthful highlights from around the district:

• Building projects and relocations:

Valpo: What a pleasure it is for us to be here at Valpo Naz for our annual

gathering. This beautiful and functional building has opened new doors for

effective ministry and growth for this local church. Congratulations to Pastor

Gene Tanner and Administrative Pastor Shawn Evans on the accomplishment of

this major project.

South Bend First is rapidly moving to the completion of a significant addition to

their facility which will greatly expand ministry possibilities. Congratulations to

Pastor David Bartley and the South Bend First congregation as they move into

their new facility in just a few weeks.

Two congregations, Valpo Living Hope and Duneland Community, made moves

from “Sunday use only rented facilities” to seven day a week facilities, moves

which have greatly enhanced their options for ministry and a sense of

permanence. Congratulations to Pastors Rich Schmidt and Greg Arthur on this

major accomplishment.

Hillsboro: The Hillsboro church is making good progress in the construction of a

4000 square foot addition of much needed education space.

• Todd and Raquel Forrest have continued their committed leadership of Our Family

Center, our Compassionate Ministry Center in Hammond. The “Say Yes” ministry of the

center has made a significant impact in children’s lives and is increasingly being

75

recognized for its effectiveness. Finances have continued to be a challenge. There was

one point this past year where it appeared we were at risk to have to close OFC. At

literally the last hour, however, in a way that only God could have orchestrated, OFC was

approved for a $25,000 grant by the city of Hammond. This was a significant recognition

of the growing reputation of the ministry of OFC. Continue to pray for Todd and Raquel.

• Several years ago, Angela and Kevin Grupe moved to Michigan City with a definite call

to ministry in this community. The Mission Development Board did not have financial

support to extend, but affirmed the call God had placed on the Grupe’s heart and

committed our prayers and an open door to local churches to raise funds. This past year,

Joshua and Susan Moran joined Angela and Kevin as partners in the mission to Michigan

City. This has been a difficult mission field with many challenges. Angela will give us an

update in her pastor’s report.

• Fairmeadow Community: Out of the Refocusing process and listening to what God was

saying to them about His mission for them in Munster, this congregation raised over

$60,000 to completely remodel their fellowship hall into a youth center reaching out to

the middle-school students of Munster. Open every Friday night during the school year,

the Wherehouse has impacted the lives of over 500 students this year. An increasing

number of these students have begun to attend the regular youth group with many

receiving Christ. This ministry has led to opportunities for ministry to families of

students as well, and some families have started to attend worship. Praise the Lord for

this outward focused mission to the Munster community!

• Spanish ministries on the district continues to move forward under the capable leadership

of Dr. Alberto Guang. Alberto and Lilliam have been with us for nine years, pastoring

76

East Chicago Spanish and leading Spanish ministry development on the district.

Economic realities, along with increasingly complex immigration issues, have impacted

our Spanish work to some degree. We are convinced of a bright future in our Spanish

work on the district. Dr. Guang will update us more specifically in his Spanish Ministries

report.

These are but a few of the highlights of God’s work in N.W. Indiana. You will hear more

of the missional activity in our churches in the pastor’s reports.

But what of the future? “Speak the Truth and Point to Hope.” What is the basis of our

hope? I first came across the concept of “liminal moments” several years ago. A liminal moment

is a moment in the life of an individual or entity when we are consciously aware that we are on

the threshold of change. At these times, we begin to realize, that things are not as they were

before. We somehow know in these moments that change is in the offing. These are moments of

profound meaning and often cause uncertainty, anxiety, and despair. They can, however,

depending on the spirit of those going through these moments, lead to certainty, courage, and

hope.”

In Hebrews 6, The Message paraphrase, we read: “When God wanted to guarantee his

promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee— God can't break his word. And because his

word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable. We who have run for our very lives

to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an

unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God

where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the

order of Melchizedek.”

77

Thanks be to God for this eternal hope, steadfast and sure! But what about the here and

now? And what about the Church of the Nazarene?

In the lifetime of those gathered here today, I think we would agree that we have never

faced the realities and the challenges posed by the events that have occurred since the beginning

of the new millennium. I read recently a comment on a blog I look at from time to time that refer

to the days we’re living in as “unthinkable” days! The unthinkable tragedy of 9/11, and the

ongoing threat of terrorist activity at home and around the world, the unthinkable financial

collapse of the past several years and the unthinkable failure of government and corporate

America; the unthinkable natural disasters: tsunamis, volcanos, hurricanes, earthquakes and the

unthinkable oil platform blast that has dumped untold millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of

Mexico.

In the midst of these “unthinkable days” the church is facing challenges that a decade or

so ago would have been unthinkable as well. At every level of the church, the ground has shifted

and we’re scrambling for traction. Our own Global Ministry Center, because of the decrease in

contributions to the World Evangelism Fund, has had to make significant cut backs in personnel

and program. The number of assigned missionaries on the field has declined because of this

reality and further cuts may be necessary.

So, how do we point to hope at a time like this?

In the Board of General Superintendent’s report to the General Board of 2008, they

stated: “the general superintendents are convinced that our Wesleyan-holiness heritage is our

best hope for the future.” Now, I would in no way take issue with that statement. Our

Wesleyan-holiness heritage is an essential part of who we are. And, a rediscovery of the vitality

78

and passion of our heritage is, indeed, a source of hope! But I would like to add a few thoughts

that come to my mind:

For the Church of the Nazarene to have a genuinely hopeful future, we must recognize

the reality that we are in a totally different situation than any of us have ever experienced before.

God is pouring out new wine…and the old wineskins are not capable of containing it. This new

wine is creating tremendous moves of the Spirit in many world areas. Contrary to some

assumptions, Christianity is the fastest growing faith expression around the world. The church in

North America, however, has not been a part of this explosion of the powerful move of the Spirit

being experienced elsewhere. There are signs of awakening, but we are at a very crucial moment

in our history. Where is our hope?

Perhaps we’re in a better place than we think we are! There seems to be a growing sense

that, just maybe, all of the “unthinkable” things we are facing that we could not have thought

possible a decade ago, may be God’s way of getting our attention in North America!

It was one of the bleakest times in Israel’s history. Their failure to serve God and Him

only led to invasion by a foreign army and captivity in a land not their own. In the midst this

seemingly hopeless situation, God spoke hope to his people:

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to

prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen

to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your

heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from

captivity.”

79

This promise is for us…today! God wants to give us a hope and a future. How do we

engage this hope and future?

Alan Roxburg is the individual I mentioned earlier who referred to these as “unthinkable

days.” I close with his reflections that I think speak volumes to us:

Our world has entered a new space where established answers and

categories will no longer assist us. In this new space we have to

discover together fresh ways of innovating the mission-shaped life

of churches. In an unthinkable world...It's all about the

conversations. We’re convinced our churches and their leaders

need something far more radical than the business as usual

programs and resources now on offer. It’s quite striking how many

resources out there assume that if we take the same categories

we’ve been using for years (change worship, develop evangelism

programs, improve youth and children programs, etc) we’ll be able

to address the rapidly changing environments in which our

churches now find themselves. We don’t believe this is true!

We’ve seen lots of churches that have gone this route only to be

disappointed. Our conviction is that we’re in one of those times

when most of our commonly accepted predictive and measuring

devises can only misguide us. This is why we call it the world of

the unthinkable - we no longer live in a world we can simply

measure, analyze and improve on what we are already doing.

80

If this is true then we are no longer in the world of the expert or

professional who comes with the answers. What, then, do we do?

As we have said, the Spirit of God is among the people of God.

What this means is that all the answers to the questions of how to

be God’s people in a particular time and place are among the

ordinary people of God in our local churches. This means

mission-shaped leaders don’t go about creating bold visions or

painting big dreams based on their convictions about some Biblical

text; instead, they develop the skills to call forth what the Spirit is

up to among the ordinary people of God and in the neighborhoods

where they live.

Our future and our hope is not to be found in a new program or a new

denominational initiative. Our hope resides in people just like you, pastors and

laypersons in local churches, who will take time to listen, intentionally, to what

the Spirit is saying to your church.

“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen

to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your

heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, “and will bring you

back from captivity.”

In Jesus parting words to his disciples, he gave them the mission for the church. He also

gave them, and all who have come after them across two millennium, an incredible reason for

hope:

81

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and

make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have

commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

The mission is our hope: “Go, make disciples…” The command is our hope:

“…teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” And, the promise is our

hope: “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

God is at work in this unthinkable world! He invites us, in the words of Henry Blackaby,

to “find out what He is doing, and to join Him.” May God, by His grace, enable us to seek him

with all our hearts, to listen to what He is saying to His church in these unthinkable days and to

be renewed in our hope by His promise: “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the

age!”

2. District NMI President

Dr. Woolery, Delegation, Friends and Family,

This is my fourth report as the NWIN district NMI President. It is my honor and

privilege to serve this district in this capacity.

The Mission of NMI in the church is simple.

Our Mission - To mobilize the church in mission through prayer, education, giving, and

interactive experiences.

82

To encourage people to pray for all efforts of world evangelization

To inform people of the world's needs and what the church is doing to meet those needs.

To challenge children and youth to learn about and participate in the mission of the church.

To raise funds for mission outreach.

As a community of believers, this is what missions completed last year.

tentmakers, there were 786 Work & Witness teams and 83 Youth in Mission participants.

• Churches in world mission areas numbered 12,451 churches (an increase of 9%) with

1.28 million members (an increase of 9.8%) in those areas.*

institutions, 3 nurses training colleges, and 1 education college had a 2009 combined

enrollment of 31,244 residential students and 14,810 extension students globally.*

83

• People were treated at 64 medical clinics and hospitals and hundreds of

compassionate ministry centers.*

• More than 330 retired missionaries received pensions.*

• In 2009, 291 literature projects were completed in 38 languages, an average of 5.5

books per week. More than 460 active projects are currently underway, representing 51

languages. Some of these projects will take a minimum of 3 years to complete.*

Nazarene’s around the world have been busy this year. . . . . . . .

We have worked very hard and bridging the gap in our own culture. NWIN NMI has

focused on the youth of NWIN. These are our greatest tools to reach the lost in our area.

Chances of someone finding Christ after the age 12 go through the roof. We have to continue to

be more aggressive with our events than ever before.

This year we moved our deputation services around to make them generational events.

We had Brian Tibbs from Extreme Nazarene. He spoke in Valparaiso, South Bend and

85

Frankfort. We were able, through deputation, to donate $7500 for a church sponsorship in Peru.

We are responsible for a church in Peru. This is very cool . . . . . .

We now have new task in front of us. We are going to focus our energy on the Western

Mediterranean field. Our district’s own Kyle and Jayme Himmelwright are there and we will be

working together to win this field for Christ. Kyle will be joining us in October 10th in

Valparaiso and the 17th in Frankfort. Those dates are Sundays; we need our churches to be

present on those days. This is our time to meet with Kyle and get a report on the work that is

getting accomplished in the Western Mediterranean.

Our mission is simple: To mobilize the church in mission through prayer, education,

giving, and interactive experiences.

If you would ask yourselves a few simple questions, you will realize quickly if you are

sold on the mission. . . Are you praying for missions, Are you learning about missions, and are

you giving. . . .

Today we want to be more prepared than ever to reach the lost and find the missing. . . .

Respectively submitted,

SHAWN EVANS

3. District NYI President

2009-2010 was a very successful year in terms of the youth on our district. I had the

privilege of serving alongside some amazing youth pastors and youth workers from around

Northwest Indiana. Everyone really stepped up to make each event a huge success.

Quizzing continues to battle for attention and participation from students and leaders

across the district; yet, Brad Osborne consistently gives the program his full attention and makes

it well worth it for those involved. They attended a variety of quiz meets both on our district and

86

with other districts from the region. We will continue to support Brad in his leadership and do

what we can to spread the word on quizzing to other local youth groups.

The fall kicked off with an event called “30 Hour Famine.” Aaron Vanstrien led this

event in Frankfort. Though the participation level was not where many anticipated, the students

and leaders that were apart of the famine did an amazing job. The worship services and the

service projects provided opportunities for spiritual growth along with the raised awareness in

world hunger. We thank Aaron for his leadership and great execution of making this event

happen.

Winter Retreat 2010. An annual event that continues to pick up steam each year is the

Winter Retreat. This year we had over 250 participants and saw new local youth groups make

this part of their yearly schedule. It was an amazing time of fun in the snow and making new

friends…at the forefront was God moving in and through the students. Larry Mitchell provided

a dialogue of thinking through our stories connecting with God’s stories and Jake Randall and

his band led us in worship through singing. Year after year, this event continues to be the

highlight for many students. We want to thank Dave Brock for his leadership and organization of

the event.

Celebrate Life (DCL/RCL). This year’s district tryouts were held in Valparaiso where

about 200 students tried out for a chance to represent NWIN at regionals. It was a fun-filled day

of watching people use the gifts that God gave them. Steve Spangenberg, NYI president for

CCD, brought the message and Jake Randall and his band provided the worship thru music. It

was a good chance to get many of our local churches together as this event usually draws the

most amount of groups. We are excited to see DCL continue to grow and flourish in the new

structure. Regionals was an amazing time where we as a district competed against the 10 other

87

districts. Overall, we placed 9 out of 11, but standings was not the goal of the weekend. During

the group worship times God definitely moved students to say “yes” to His leading and follow

Him where He leads. It was a very inspiring time together as Mark Holcomb preached and

Before Tomorrow sang!

Remix. We finish up (and begin) each calendar year with Remix (NYI convention). It is

at this event where we conduction our NYI business, but we spend time as a district serving in

the community, growing in our relationships with Christ, and making new friends from across

the district.

The recurring theme that we saw throughout the year was life-change! That is why we do

what we do. If were just gathering together for fun and enjoyment, then we would have wasted

many hours and many dollars. Seeing God work in changing lives makes every aspect of district

events worth it. In the upcoming year we will be even more purposeful in providing an

opportunity for students to encounter their King in new and exciting ways.

(line 32).

* District 72.5%, Mission Development 13.3%, Sunday School 4.4%, NYI 5.8%, NMI 4.0%

2. NewStart churches and ReStart churches follow these district fund policies:

After the launch of NewStart churches – a tithe (10 percent) of all income is to be given

to others according to the following allotments: 3 percent to World Evangelism Fund, 3 percent

to District Unified Fund, 2 percent to Education Fund, 2 percent to Pensions & Benefits Fund.

This tithe should be sent to the district treasurer for distribution. This policy will apply to the

church until the start of the fiscal church year following the year the church is officially

organized. At that time, the church will have funds allocated according to the normal formula.

ReStart churches – the formula for determining fund payments will be the same as all

other organized churches on the district, with the exception that a maximum of 10 percent of

Line 30 (total income) will apply when determining fund allocations. Any reduction in excess of

10 percent should be proportionately divided among all the funds. This policy will apply to the

92

church until the start of the fiscal church year following the year the church is officially

reorganized. At that time, the church will have funds allocated according to the normal formula.

3. All funds are paid in full by the close of the church year March 31, 2011. Each

church should develop a consistent giving plan to pay all funds in full. Fund monies should be

5. Ministerial Support and Benevolence: The Word of God is clear at the point of the

congregation's care for the material needs of pastors, "The laborer is worthy of his wages" (I

Timothy 5:18). The following recommendations provide a beginning point for the local church

to use in making arrangements for the salary and benefit package for the pastor. The Finance

Committee has carefully reviewed each item. We recommend that the church board carefully

consider implementation of these recommendations as a part of its decision in this important

area. We recommend that:

95

a. The pastor's salary and expense allowance be carefully reviewed by the church

board at least once per year, and that the district superintendent's salary and paid district

employee's salary and expense be carefully reviewed by the District Finance Committee at least

once per year, with consideration given to the current cost of living. plus a merit increase, and

that a minimum of $450 per week be established for full-time pastors. The secretary of the

church board shall report to the district superintendent the action taken by the church board at the

time of the review.

b. The pastor be reimbursed according to the IRS allowable amount per mile for the

use of his/her automobile in church-related business. This reimbursement is to be reported under

all other church ministries (line 46 of the annual report) and not as pastor's salary or benefits.

c. Realizing the limitations of the basic pension program, under the Nazarene

Pensions and Benefits, a need still exists for additional retirement for ministers who earn their

full livelihood from the ministry. The Church of the Nazarene, under a government-approved

tax-sheltered annuity, has such a plan known as the Nazarene Retirement Program (tax-sheltered

annuity) for ministers and lay employees of the Church of the Nazarene. Therefore, we

recommend that every local church participate in the Nazarene Retirement Program (tax-

sheltered annuity) for its ministers. We further recommend that each local church contribute a

minimum of 5 percent of the amount of the pastors' weekly salary to the Nazarene Retirement

Program and that the pastor have the privilege of adding to it from his/her salary.

d. Because the pastor is obligated to attend local, district, regional, and general

meetings, we recommend that the church pay all expenses of both the pastor and spouse to attend

these meetings.

96

e. Our ministers cooperate in the social security program and the district pay to the

district superintendent and each church pays to its pastor and evangelists an amount equivalent,

when possible, to the full amount of their social security tax. Since it is mandatory to include

housing allowance or fair rental value of the parsonage, in calculating a minister's social security,

that this be considered in the amount given by both the district to the district superintendent and

the church to its pastors and evangelists. In the event of a pastoral change during the year, the

social security tax should be prorated for that portion of the year served.

f. The local church pay the pastor's and the pastor's family’s hospital insurance as

provided by the district insurance program, unless the pastor is covered by hospital insurance

from other employment. The local church should pay a maximum of $3,000 of the family

medical expenses not covered by the pastor’s and pastor's family’s hospital insurance. The

district will apply these same guidelines to the district superintendent.

g. Each local church provides a parsonage and utilities or a housing allowance to

cover these items. If a housing allowance is given, it should be reported in column 44a of the

annual pastor’s report.

h. That the following vacation program be set up for our ministers serving as pastors

(applies to assembly year):

Any pastor, including the district superintendent, who desires to take part or all of his/her

vacation between Sundays must count the days as vacation time. Pastors who prefer including

Sundays shall honor the following minimum schedule:

(1) Those who have served for up to 5 years be granted two weeks vacation with

full salary (two Sundays).

97

(2) Those having served from 6 to 12 years be granted three weeks vacation with

full salary (three Sundays).

(3) Those having served 13-19 years be granted four weeks vacation with full

salary (four Sundays).

(4) Those having served 20-24 years be granted five weeks vacation with full

salary (five Sundays).

(5) Those having served 25 years or longer be granted six weeks vacation with full

salary (six Sundays).

(6) Since the pastor is obligated on Sunday, he/she should be encouraged to take

off one day of his/her own choosing each week. If because of responsibilities the pastor cannot

take a day off, three days may be accumulated not affecting Wednesday or Sunday services.

i. The pastor and all full-time pastoral staff who have served at least seven

consecutive years in the same church, and every seventh year thereafter, be eligible for a

minimum of one month paid sabbatical leave to be arranged by the church board and pastor.

j. An expression of love and appreciation be shown the pastor by giving him/her one

or two weeks pay as a Christmas gift.

k. Each church make provision for a General Assembly expense fund so that the

pastor can attend the 2013 General Assembly and that this time not be considered time off.

6. Miscellaneous

a. All local treasurers of all departments use the services of a banking system The

accounts shall be in the name of the local church. Each Sunday's offerings are to be listed on

triplicate forms so that the pastor, treasurer, and financial secretary can be given a copy of all

monies received.

98

Each church shall use a committee of at least two persons to count all monies received at

its services, as ordered by the Manual, 2009-2013 ed.., par. 129.22.

b. No congregation be granted permission to go into debt or hire any staff until it has

shown its ability and willingness to pay all of its obligations-- local, district, and general, and

carry the additional payments on the debt under construction, in harmony with policies of the

Manual and the District Advisory Board.

c. Senior pastors retiring on the Northwest Indiana District, whose tenure began on

the Northwest Indiana District prior to April 1, 2010, shall be eligible for Medicare Supplement

Health Insurance at District Expense, at age 65, on the following basis:

(1) One-third after 10 consecutive years of service on Northwest Indiana District

immediately prior to retirement.

(2) Two-thirds after 20 years of service on Northwest Indiana District


(3) Full coverage after 30 years of service on Northwest Indiana District


The entitlement to supplemental insurance shall apply, regardless of the membership or

the residence of the retired senior pastor, but the benefit shall be limited to the amount to which

the senior pastor would be entitled if he or she lived on the Northwest Indiana District and

capped at the Indiana AARP rates as of January 2009, or the current rate at time of entitlement

eligibility for those who become eligible after January 2009.

d. The district superintendent shall be declared as the district property agent, or his

assignee.

with the bank deposits and the checks issued by the organization. The bank accounts were

reconciled and the bank balances are consistent with my calculations.

The State of Cash Receipts and Disbursements has not been audited or reviewed and

accordingly, I do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on it.

Respectfully,
