Per: ________________________________________________ Secretary – Elwyn Dahlke

The Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) is pleased to report on the financial health of Centre Street Church (CSC) for the fiscal period ended June 30 2012. Audited Financial Statements This fiscal period represents the first full year of ministry where the fiscal year is in alignment with the natural ministry year. The audited financial statements compare the twelve months ended June 30 2012 to the six months (stub year) ended June 30 2011. The stub year was necessary in order to transition from a fiscal period ending in December to one ending in June. A full external audit of the fiscal period was completed by member appointed Dart Bryant Chartered Accountants. The FAC met with the auditor independently and reviewed the findings. The audit confirmed the integrity of the financial statements, and of the reporting and control environments. No major problems were identified. The following significant transactions are reported in the statements: • CSC formally completed acquisition of the Bridgeland property and launched the Bridgeland regional ministry. The property was acquired from the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada West District (EMCC). See note 5. • CSC sold a property known as the East Edge property for net proceeds of $899K. The sale agreement was reached during the fiscal period, and the net cash proceeds were realized after the year closed, at which time they were deposited to the Development Fund. • CSC acquired the property directly north of the West Campus on Centre Street for future development. • After the year closed, CSC signed a lease for rental space in North East Calgary for development of a new ministry. The lease commitment is included in note 12. The Budget Process During the budgeting process for the 2012 fiscal period it was determined that important strategic components should include 1) finding ways to be increasingly generous, and 2) beginning a move towards being able to fund Sustaining Capital needs from the General fund. Accordingly the budget for Offerings, including a faith component, reflected an approximate 6% increase. The budget for expenses was established by analyzing each expense component and setting the budget based on what was required to achieve the strategic objectives. The result was an estimated budget surplus of $478,000 in the General Fund which, if achieved, could be used largely to fund new unbudgeted Missions and Outreach projects. The budget for the Development fund was established using a similar process with an objective of continuing to build the fund for future capital development of new ministries, recognizing that the fund is currently also used for sustaining capital projects for existing ministries. The estimated budget surplus was $172,000. General Fund Results (Table 1) The General Fund is the main operating fund of CSC, and is funded primarily by a fixed ratio of Offerings designated to Ministry and Missions. Offerings of $8,103,511 were 97.9% of budget, and expenses of $7,761,924 were 97.5% of budget. Through the generosity of CSC supporters

and the prudent management of ministry expenses, CSC was able to achieve a surplus which was used to fund new unbudgeted General Fund Missions generosity projects with $305,000. We praise the Lord for the ability to fund these projects over and above our normal Missions & Outreach budget. CSC was also able to allocate $229,471 to future Ministry Opportunities. During the period of Pastor Henry’s sabbatical, offerings remained strong. We attribute this to the ongoing generosity of CSC supporters, the strength of the ministry base, the dedicated staff of CSC, and the strength of the senior leadership team. Missions & Outreach Fund (Table 2) The Missions & Outreach Fund is funded primarily by a fixed ratio of Offerings designated to Ministry and Missions. Offerings of $1,620,702 were 97.9% of budget, and expenses of $1,532,353 were 92.9% of budget. Through the generosity of CSC supporters and the prudent provision of funds to the International, National and Community missions where CSC has partnered, we were able to allocate $122,958 to future Missions Opportunities in the Snyder fund. Development Fund (Table 3) The Development Fund is funded primarily by designations to the fund. Offerings of $1,559,129 were 126% of budget, and expenses of $1,220,074 were 122% of budget. Through the generosity of CSC supporters and the prudent management of Capital expenditures, an additional $403,881 was retained in the fund to be used for future Capital opportunities. Ministry Development Capital expenses of $326,336 were to develop new ministries at the Airdrie and Bridgeland regional campuses. Ministry Sustainment and Enhancement expenses of $893,738 were for new or enhanced Information Technology (IT) and other ministry equipment which serve the Global ministries of CSC, and for building/property upgrades. Conclusion CSC is in a healthy financial position. Cash, Deposits and Investments at June 30 2012 total $8,076,598 of which $4,689,308 is in the Development Fund. CSC does not have any debt. As a result, CSC is financially well positioned to begin a process of developing new ministries or enhancing existing ministries. Please be in prayer for the leadership as they seek to discern the will of the Lord for how and when to proceed. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of CSC Staff, current and former members of FAC and others who have served in the finance area over the years. The financial strength of CSC is due to the blessing of God and the wise & discerning leadership and counsel you have provided. I encourage you to review the summary tables and the audited financial statements in detail. If you have any questions or comments, or are interested in learning how to serve in this ministry area, please contact us through Terry Busch. Your Servant – Because of Him Elwyn Dahlke, Treasurer

VOCATION: Director of the Rockyview General Hospital Registered Nurse MINISTRY INVOLVEMENT(S): Lead Hannah’s Hope Ministry for women struggling with infertility Ministry Health committee member Small Group SPIRITUAL GIFTS / TALENTS: Leadership/Administration Nursing BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY: I was thankfully born into a Christian family, and made a commitment to follow Jesus at a very early age. I was saved as a child and baptized in my early youth. It has been a life long journey for me as I have learned to trust my heavenly Father in all areas of my life. I continue to be challenged and grow each season and each day. I could not get through one day without him. Church is a big part of my life and has been from the time I was a child. I have been involved at Center Street over the past 10 years and recently joined the Ministry Health Committee. I am involved in a small group and also lead a Hannah’s Hope small group for those who are struggling with Infertility.

CENTRE STREET CHURCH BOARD MEMBER CANDIDATE PROFILE 2012 PERSONAL BACKGROUND: FAMILY: Name: Name of spouse: Children:

Gentry Stickel Julia Stickel Kathryn

VOCATION: Director of Operations and Finance at a software development and IT support company in Calgary. MINISTRY INVOLVEMENT(S): 1. Worship Leader, Sunday AM services (2006-Present) 2. Member of Finance and Audit Standing Committee (2009-Present) 3. Acts of God Drama Team (2007) 4. Axis Coach (under Tim Volkman) 5. Axis Worship Leader and Team Leader (under Tim Volkman) 6.

Orchestra Member (Cello, 2004-2005) 11. MTO to Centre Street Church partner church in Montreal (2005) SPIRITUAL GIFTS / TALENTS: I believe I have been given the gifts of service, administration, and hospitality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY: I grew up in a Christian home and attended a Christian school from K-12. Christian teachers and weekly chapels challenged my faith as a teenager, and a missions trip to Guatemala in grade 10 made a strong impression on my life that followers of Jesus could have such great joy even when they had nothing of material value. Although I served in my church growing up, it was when I moved to Texas to finish my last semester of university that my relationship with God became radically stronger. I spent two hours each way on the bus in order to attend a specific church in Texas, and I was profoundly impacted by a study on the book of Nehemiah and on the Experiencing God study by Henry Blackaby. When I moved to Calgary in 2002 and started attending Centre Street Church, my faith grew even more as Pastor Henry taught from the book of Romans. At that time I learned about and developed a biblically functioning community with others who were

also new to Centre Street, and I was involved in facilitating and leading a Bible study which later became a part of AXIS. Being in biblical community, active and involved at church, going on a trip to Israel in 2008 with CSC, singing and playing worship music, praying, reading Scripture, and marrying a God-fearing woman have all been significant landmarks along my spiritual journey.

CENTRE STREET CHURCH BOARD MEMBER CANDIDATE PROFILE 2012 PERSONAL BACKGROUND: FAMILY: Name: Barima Kwame Dankwa VOCATION: Project Engineer, WorleyParsons Canada MINISTRY INVOLVEMENT(S): Since I moved to Calgary, I have been enormously blessed to be given an opportunity to be part of amazing ministries at Centre Street Church. I have had the pleasure of leading and creating young adults and youth “super groups”, serving in overseas mission trips to Kenya, El Salvador and leading young adult teams to Kenya and Cuba. I have also had the pleasure of serving as part of the young adult ministry team and ministry outreaches Monday nights, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween. SPIRITUAL GIFTS / TALENTS: I believe God grants spiritual gifts liberally to those who are available to be obedient to his call. However, the redemptive gifts that have been recognized as most prominent in my life are that of a ruler, exhorter and teacher (Romans 12:68). The most prominent ministry gifts recognized in my life by others are as an Apostle and a Teacher (Ephesians 4). With regards to spiritual gifts, they are words of wisdom and knowledge, and discernment (1 Cor. 12). God has also graciously given me the ability to recognize problems and challenges, to cultivate, conceptualize and create a vision, and to implement solutions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY: In a snapshot, my life has been punctuated by the providence and overwhelming grace of God. I was born and raised in a small town in Ghana, West Africa, as the second child to parents that loved Jesus. This was during a time of great need in Ghana and neighbouring countries. However, the overpowering hope found in Christ provided peace and assurance that sustained my family. As result, I realized quickly as a Sunday school child, that I needed Jesus to fill the God sized vacuum in my heart. At the age of nine I decided to make my faith my own after I felt Jesus calling me to a more intimate walk with him. I got baptized, at the age of thirteen to reaffirm my dedication to Jesus two years after my family immigrated to Canada. As a youth, I desired to be a reflection of Christ in Luke 2:52. As God has continued to lead my life, it is the challenge of Christ’s life in John 9:4-5 that has inspired me to continue in him so that He would grant me the strength to be a faithful witness. Psalms 27 and 91 continue to be one of many life songs that I sing to proclaim the supremacy of God in my life.

FAMILY: Name: Name of spouse: Children names:

Jamie Gagner Erin Naomi and Carson

VOCATION: Lawyer MINISTRY INVOLVEMENT: Ministry Health Committee SPIRITUAL GIFTS / TALENTS: Gifts: faith, giving and encouragement BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY: As a child I attended the local Roman Catholic church in my community. At the age of 12, I decided to no longer attend that church as the teachings of the church did not make sense to me. As a teenager and a young adult, I tried to live in a "good" way. This was not satisfying as I consistently failed. Also, it was not clear to me against whom or what I should measure my "goodness". I met Erin in the first few weeks of law school and we became good friends, bonding over common experiences (we both grew up in the B.C. Fraser Valley) and a few common acquaintances. Through our friendship Erin shared with me her faith in Jesus, and listened to me as I asked many questions (she even answered a few of them!). For a birthday gift Erin gave me a Student Bible, which I was very excited to receive and read. In April 1997 I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour and Lord over my life. Erin and I married in 1999. Since that time the Lord has grown us as individuals and as a couple through good times and adversity. I look forward to the work the Lord will continue to do in us and through us.
