Financial information

We believe in financial transparency 🔍

Jesus spoke about money and possessions more than anything except for the Kingdom of God. He wants us to understand the risks and benefits, the blessings and the temptations that come with stewarding God’s resources. Therefore, our Elders and Staff commit to maintaining the highest standards of responsibility and accountability in our financial stewardship and strive for transparency with our church's financial health and decisions.

The summary information below communicates the “big picture”. However, any church family member is invited and encouraged to schedule a meeting with the Lead Pastor (Steve McCarthy) and the Treasurer (Stacey Greathouse) to review the financial details.

Please contact the office (970-660-4078) or the Elders (elders@connections.cc) to schedule a time to ask financial questions.

Where does My giving go?

Your contributions make it possible to encourage, equip, and empower the Connections family to meet the needs of our community. We strive to impact Adults, Teens, and Kids with the hope and power of the Gospel.

Ministry Plan

Our Ministry Year begins September 1 and goes through August 31. Before each year, the church family is presented with a Ministry Plan and associated financial requirements. During August, the church examines the plan and finances and asks clarifying questions. At the end of August, we invite each family to anonymously affirm the plan and communicate their commitment to support it through prayer, financial contribution, and participation on a Ministry Team.

See the approved 2025 Ministry Plan here.
