Where the money sits

Every dollar belongs to a fund. Each row is a complete statement — what the fund held on January 1, what came in, what went out, what moved between funds, and what it holds today. Every line adds across.

General Operating is running a deficit. It received $190,576 and spent $191,763, then set aside a further $6,400 into the Trustee Reserve — so it holds $7,587 less than it did in January. It also absorbed the $4,413.50 unexplained migration variance on 9/6/26, which is why its opening figure is higher than previously shown. The church-wide picture looks healthier only because the endowment gained $19,839 and the Chicken Barbecue and Building Fund had strong years, and none of those can pay a salary.

Received is every dollar that arrived, including $9,971 given for a designated purpose that the church holds for someone else, $12,721 of land rent and interest, and $20,677 the endowment earned. That is why it exceeds the church income shown at the top of the page — money held for others is not income, and an investment gain is not spendable. Transfers is money moved between the church's own funds; it nets to zero across all funds and is never income or expense.

PowerChurch numbered each fund by the account range it happened to live in rather than by what the money is, and the migration followed that numbering. A run of class-only entries dated 8/31 has now put every fund under the code its nature calls for, and Fund 03 has been narrowed to what the church actually uses it for: projects the church runs to raise unrestricted money — the Chicken Barbecue, the Pork Chop Dinner, and the accumulated net position of past projects. Everything that was sitting in Fund 03 because of an old account number has moved: the third-party designations and the former 03-2300-599 Miscellaneous pool to 02.1 Missions, 52 Club to 02.1 alongside them, Easter lilies and poinsettias to 02.2 Worship. Because every one of those entries restates where money always sat, the Held Jan 1 column is shown on the corrected footing, so each row still adds across — and the restated opening column totals $407,203.70, which is the church’s actual position at 12/31/25 to the cent. Not one dollar of total, income or expense was created or lost.

One consequence is worth naming. The $4,413.50 the migration entry recorded as an unexplained PowerChurch deficit has moved to 01 General Operating, where the other unresolved migration variance already sits. It is unrestricted money and cannot honestly sit inside a restricted or agency fund. General Operating therefore reads $4,413.50 worse than it did, which is the honest number until the Finance Team places it. It is on the Needs attention tab.

Accrued payroll not yet remitted is excluded from what a fund holds, since it is owed rather than available. The four restricted Trustee funds keep their own bank accounts; everything else shares the operating account, so a designated fund can read negative when it has spent ahead of its giving.
