Followed 4 ten year pastors… the third of the four was forced to resign. This is the church where I was baptized. Attendance had declined from 1,100 to 300 in the 20 years prior to my arrival (Due to a changed community). Giving had not met budget for 20 years. Average age was 70+. Staff salaries were 73% of budget (Pastor, Administrator, Music, Senior Adults, Youth, Children, Two Secretaries, Two Janitors). The Stewardship Team asked me to form teams and present a plan to address the situation.
