6/10/25 ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL MEETING SUMMARY

Discipleship Training — (Terry Bolender) Having just celebrated Pentecost, where is our church on fire with the Holy Spirit? Where does the Spirit need to light a fire in our congregation? Children’s Ministries is in real need of volunteers for VBS and summer Sunday school.

Leadership Development — (Pastor Jim) The motion to dissolve the Community Engagement Team was passed. We will continue to do these important things in other ways.

Finance Update — (Glen Cushman) We are in pretty good shape with income about where we expected and expenses less than anticipated. The Raise the Roof campaign officially ended on June 1st and we received $65,000 out of the requested $80,000.

Employee Retention Credit (ERC) — (Glen Cushman) During Covid the government offered stimulus money to help companies keep their employees. We received a PPP loan which later turned into a grant. When an ERC was also made available, Glen worked for two years to provide the information required so that KUMC would qualify to get those funds. We have now received $98,900 and will look at what is best to do with that money.

KUMC Personnel Policy Update — (Desi Mayo) This updated policy included a change to language about state minimum wage and provides paid vacation for part-time hourly staff (part-time salaried staff already has paid vacation). The motion to adopt the policy passed and the policy will be retroactive to January 1, 2025.

Creation Care — (Pat Gray) The Ad Council voted to work towards goal #8: reducing our carbon footprint by reducing the energy used by our kitchen and food service. The Creation Care Team provided various recommendations and will be working in consultation with the relevant parties.

Thank you, Desi, you have used your gifts and really blessed your committee and our church. We will miss you and Cathy so much.

Next Ad Council meeting will be Tuesday, August 12 via Zoom.
