Rochester Affinity Church
A plain accounting of how the church puts your giving to work each month — the table, the space, the teaching, and the tools that hold our house churches together.
Monthly budget
$3,440
Annual budget
$41,284
Five categories make up the full budget. Each bar shows its share of the monthly total.
$400 every week, so we can host a free meal at a local restaurant for guests — a shared table, a gospel message, and onsite communion for believers.
$300 every week, covering the rental property that hosts our house church meetings and the equipment that carries the livestream to those joining from home.
Compensation for the teachers who prepare and lead roughly seven hours of classes each month, investing directly in the congregation's growth.
Bulletins, handouts, and study materials printed for services and classes throughout the month.
Zoom, Canva, and other software that keeps remote members connected and our materials looking sharp.
How the numbers work. Two items are budgeted weekly rather than monthly. To show them on the same monthly basis as everything else, we convert using the calendar average: weekly amount × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months. That's why $400/week lands at $1,733/mo rather than a round $1,600 — it accounts for months with five Sundays, not just four.
