Mission Share

Mission Share is the annual financial contribution required from a congregation for the support of the mission and ministry of the diocese. The mission share is calculated based on a formula approved at the diocesan convention. The formula is reviewed every five years. By canon, the final mission share payment must be paid on or before June 30.

Calculating a Parish Mission Share Ratio

A congregation’s Mission Share Ratio is the average of the two below ratios, determined from Parochial Report data:

  • Normal Operating Income = Income of congregation / Total income of all congregations in diocese (Box A of the Parochial Report)
  • Operating Expenses= Expenses of congregation / Total expenses of all congregations in diocese (Box E of the Parochial Report)

Determining Mission Share Rate (2022-2024)

  • Congregations with smallest Mission Share Ratio will be assessed at rate of 4% of current normal operating income
  • Congregations with Mission Share Ratio closest to average will be assessed at rate of 11.5% of current normal operating income
  • All other congregations will be assessed at a rate defined by Mission Share Ratio order on a straight line connecting the congregations found in the two categories listed above.
