First Trimester Financial Update

First Trimester Financial Update

Platt Park Church’s First Trimester Financial Update for 2025 highlights a strong start to the year. The community raised $4,563.59 during the Easter offering to support migrants and local ministry partners. The High School France Mission Team is nearing their $20,000 goal, with close to $18,000 already raised. From January through April, the church received just over $222,000 in total income—slightly below the same period in 2024—but Sunday offerings have increased by nearly 15%. Expenses have decreased to approximately $244,000, down from nearly $291,000 last year, resulting in an operating shortfall of about $41,000, which is typical for this season. The church continues to steward resources carefully and encourages ongoing support to sustain its mission and ministries.
