Finances and Admin

Tithes and Offerings were 4% higher in January over the previous year.

Global Care - $7964 was donated through our benevolent fund to members of our community in need in the last quarter of 2021.

For February, the daycare occupancy rate at Coffs Harbour was 78% and Taree was 79%. This is a strong start to the year, as children transition to school we see a drop in numbers which then builds up as new children start.

We celebrated Hazel Parker’s 25 year work anniversary in February! She started with the daycare in 1997, in the babies room.

Some projects were completed in January / February :

• A new sign for Taree was installed.

• The church kitchen at Coffs Harbour was completed

Upcoming completions include:

• Shade for Taree Early Learning fort playground.

• Hail repair work for Coffs Harbour church and Early Learning.

• Coffs Harbour road entrance

• Coffs Harbour Early Learning new Fort playground.

We have 99 staff employed in Faith Family , with 77% in Early Learning, 10% as church support staff, and 13% as pastoral staff.

We welcome 4 new staff to Early Learning Coffs Harbour: Holly, Katie, Marissa and Gwendolyn.

Tithe.ly online giving platform was integrated into the website. This will make it simpler to direct offerings and donations to the correct areas for church members and the admin team.
