Operating Surplus/Deficit $528,849 $151,896

During 2020, the Church obtained a $976,788 loan under the Federal Paycheck Protection Program, allowing the Church to maintain its staff during the year. Since the Church believes it has met the conditions for forgiveness of this loan, it has been treated as a grant in the 2020 financial statements. As a result of continued support of the congregation, and cost reductions achieved during 2020, the Church showed a $528,849 Operating Surplus during the year. This surplus has been used in part to cover deficits of over $200,000 accumulated in prior years with the balance carried forward to cover potential deficits in future years. * Authorized Drawdown from Endowment. The Endowment is managed on a "total return" basis. For 2020, the Board of Trustees established 4.5% of the twenty quarter moving average of the market value of the endowment funds to be a prudent draw to support the church operating budget.

** The church does not capitalize and depreciate its expenditures for capital projects. In lieu of depreciation, an allowance is made in the operating budget for future capital expenditures. A total of $350,000 was funded in 2020. Due to 2020 capital improvements made in the Watson Hall area, $125,000 of the allowance was funded in 2020 from the Watson Hall Fund.
