History of Upstate New York District
At the Thirtieth Annual New York District Assembly, held at Beacon, N.Y., June 30 -
July 4, 1937, a recommendation proposing to divide the district, which included all of New York
State, was introduced to the assembly.
It was voted to refer this recommendation to the Board of General Superintendents for
their decision.
During the summer the General Superintendents voted to allow the division, provided
each district would assume its own financial obligations without support from the General
Church.
On Wednesday, September 22, 1937, at East Rockaway Church, Lynbrook, L.I., New
York, at a meeting presided over by Dr. J. G. Morrison, the southern part of the district voted to
organize under the old name, New York District.
On Friday, September 24, 1937, Dr. J. G. Morrison met with the pastors and a
representative layman from each church north of the dividing line at Lake Placid, N.Y., to
organize the new district effective October 1, 1937.
The new district was named the Albany District. Rev. A.M. Babcock, district
superintendent of the New York District, was appointed as the new district superintendent.
It was decided that all district officers and board members who were elected at the
Thirtieth Assembly of the New York District, residing on the new district, would hold their
respective offices. Other officers and board members would be appointed by the new district
superintendent.

In 1968, the District Assembly voted to change the name from Albany District to Upstate
New York District.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Upstate New York District is to glorify God by creating a
supportive atmosphere and network that will encourage and assist pastors and laity in
becoming a redemptive force for the Kingdom of God.

The chair called Board of Tellers No. 2, and ballots were spread for District Advisory
Board; and for District Properties Board. It was pointed out that the ballot names did not match
those in the report of the Board of Nominations and the ballot was recalled. Upon investigation,
the discrepancies were found to be in the report, due to nominees declining nomination and
having to be replaced by the committee.

ballots cast, Rev. Carr was re-elected by substantial majority of 164-4. Dr. Middendorf called

response to a question from the floor, it was noted that the ballot should call for TWO lay
representatives to be voted on for District Properties Board. With that correction, the
supplemental report was adopted and Board of Tellers No. 2 was called to spread the alternative
ballot for District Advisory Board and District Properties Board.

Middendorf recommended that each church secretary pass copies of this report to the full church
boards.

Camp had greatly reduced its need for District Support, allowing excess monies to be placed in
the Property Improvement Fund.
The District Finance Committee report was adopted (see report). Mr. Hawkins reviewed
the new allocation formula provisions, primarily moving from prior year expenditures to current
year income as the base for general church allocations. Dr. Middendorf passed along a call from

V. Reports
A. District Officers
1. District Superintendent’s Report
General Superintendent Dr. Jesse Middendorf and honored guests, Mrs. Susan Middendorf, Rev. Corey McPherson, Mr. Andy Wright, Chaplin Dwight Jennings, the Upstate District Ministry Team of Pastors and lay leaders, and you, our guests, to this 73rd Assembly of the Upstate New York District: It is an honor and privilege to share this report reflecting the mission and ministry of the Upstate District team of churches. “There is a time for everything, and a season of purpose for every activity under heaven.” These are the words and observations of Solomon. They serve to remind us of the season and the purpose of our coming together, which is to review, reaffirm and renew our calling to be the “theo to koi” – God-bearers to our world. Or, in response to the invitation of Jesus, “Come – follow me! Live My life! Be My disciples, and as you do so, make disciples of those you encounter along life’s journey.”
The Season of Review
The season of review serves as both a time of reflection that brings closure, as well as a time of preparation for looking forward to a new tomorrow. In our review of closure, we can report that God has been faithfully at work through our churches. As such, there is a sense of recovery that is showing in the following statistical indicators that help us assess our progress in ministry effectiveness.
Making Disciples a. New Nazarenes – 212 (+41) b. SDMI – 2,759 (+145) c. Morning Worship – 4,195 (+158) d. SDMI Responsibility List – 6,084 (+980) e. District Church Team Membership – 4,408 (-106)
Stewardship
90
a. World Evangelism Fund - $412,447.11 = 95.06% b. District Team - $299,499.00 = 87.72% c. Pension and Benefits - $103,590.16 = 89.48% d. Eastern Nazarene College - $128,467.37 = 63.94%
These are indicators that should serve to continue to challenge us in our mission of making disciples and being generous and faithful stewards in our giving for others. I want to express to you my deep appreciation for having embraced the challenge to eliminate the “zeros” in our reports. Every church endeavored to show a gain in reaching new people for Christ, making disciples, and giving for others. In a year following and still being heavily impacted by economic downturns, this statistical giving record reflects your willingness to give sacrificially as well as your faithful obedience as stewards. Thank you for believing God does and will continue to provide as we trust Him and dare to put our faith into action. There is also evidence in our “Making Disciples” data that there is a growing sense of God at work in us, among us, and through us. We currently have five churches ministering as either a New Start church or a new multi-site extension in a new area. These churches are becoming influences for Christ in their respective communities.
1. Christ Covenant in Livonia A multi-site of Rochester Calvary Community Church Pastor: Rev. Mark Blankenship
2. Church Radiant in Gates Pastor: Rev. Shane Smith
3. Cross of Christ Deliverance Temple in Rochester Pastor: Patrick McNair
4. Liberian National Church of the Nazarene in Buffalo Pastor: Elizabeth Toe
5. Life Church (North) in Evans Mills A multi-site of Watertown First Church Pastor: Rev. Chad Clardie
You will hear in their reports some of the stories of how God is at work.
91
As a district, we have in these past six years endeavored to reestablish a foundation that will enable us to rebuild and develop into the future with health and strength. We have, as a result, closed some churches that were inactive and some that needed a new start. We have sold property and we have purchased new property for the future. This past year we began the development of the Upstate New York District Resource Center, which is located in North Syracuse on highway 31 in Clay, New York. This property of 5+ acres will not only house the District Office Center but will also house our New Start Church, The Journey’s Way Church of the Nazarene. We look forward, with anticipation, to having a certificate of occupancy within a couple weeks. In concluding our Season of Review, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the following:
1. District Advisory Board: Rev. David Cramer, Mrs. Donna MacPherson, Rev. Mark Blankenship, Mr. Doug Kitchen, Rev. Patrick Fleming, and Mr. George Hill.
2. District Treasurer: Mr. Bob Hawkins 3. District Secretary: Rev. Dr. Dennis King 4. District Sunday School Ministries Board Chairman, Rev. Denny Swart, and
his Board 5. District NMI President, Mrs. Donna Buell, and her Council 6. District NYI President, Rev. Dan Eddings, and his Council 7. Brooktondale Nazarene Camp and Retreat Center Administrator, Mr. Stan
McLain, and his Board 8. District Board of Ministry Chairs, Rev. Dr. Bob St. Clair and Rev. Dr. Scott
Buell, and their Board 9. District Church Properties Board Chairman, Mr. Donald Sykes, and his
Board 10. District Office Technical Support: Rev. Kevin Smith
Your leadership and direction in your respective areas of ministry and mission continue to assist us as a District Team in developing as a truly missional and transformational influence for Christ. Last, I want to express to each pastor, pastoral staff, and to each of you as a part of Jesus’ Ministry Team of Disciples my personal appreciation for your commitment to not settling for a status quo mentality. We can, and I believe we will, as this
92
review reflects, continue in the momentum of “Renewing the Passion” for God and for making disciples.
The Season of Reaffirmation Prior to any season of renewal, there must be a season of reaffirmation. This is the time wherein there is a recommitment or reaffirmation to live, act and behave in certain ways. Much like Israel at the time when Ezra and Nehemiah had them assemble after the rebuilding of the Jerusalem wall in order to reestablish their covenant with God, we, too, must reaffirm our covenant responsibility to live and serve as a Kingdom of God community throughout Upstate New York. I would invite you to reaffirm with me that, as a community of connectional churches, we will affirm the following:
1. We will not allow busyness to become a substitute for “being about the Father’s business.” Programs that do not connect to the intentional mission of bearing witness for Christ, of providing loving and caring outreach in order to make disciples, or of building up each other in faith may enable us to give the appearance of being an active church, but fall short of “Being the Church.”
2. We will no longer major on the minors and minor on the majors. We too often spend our God-given resources of time, talent, finances, and other gifts of grace on that which, at the end of the day, accounts for very little in terms of bringing glory to God.
3. We will therefore make as our priority: • To love God with our complete self • To seek God’s will above our own • To be a praying people • To follow Jesus in life practices of loving obedience to God;
loving others as we have been loved by Jesus; serving others as we serve Jesus
4. We will, with intentional plan and practice, move from a maintenance mindset to a missional mindset of “Being the Church.” This season of reaffirmation is that which prepares us for the coming of a Season of Renewal of Passion.
Season of Renewal of Passion
Through one of my life mentors I learned that we must “Pray with an expectant faith, and live with the anticipated hope that the Holy Spirit of God will work
93
dynamically in us, among us and through us.” This, I believe, is the heartbeat of a Renewed Passion. It is daring to envision the “not yet,” while living as if it were already present. In John’s Revelation, he records the message of the Risen Jesus to the church in Philadelphia. “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, you have kept My Word, and you have not denied My Name.” There is before us, on the Upstate District, an open door of opportunity. We live in a region where 50% or greater of our population have no affiliation with any church. This number alone would mean over 4 million people have no church connection. This number increases even more when the measurement includes a personal connection of faith and obedience to Christ. I truly believe that God has set before us, the Upstate New York District churches, an open door of Renewal. A Renewal of Passion that will lead us to becoming a missional District of reproducing communities of authentic disciples, disciples that are being equipped and encouraged to be missionaries sent out by God’s Holy Spirit, to live and bear witness of God and His love to all they encounter. In this Season of Renewal of Passion, we must dare to dream God-sized dreams of what He desires to do in us and through us and for us. What could happen if we begin to live out the scripture promise of Jeremiah 32:27, “Behold, I am the God of all things, is there anything to hard for me?” What would we dare to attempt if, in our Renewed Passion, we acted in the confidence of I John 5:14, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know we have the petition that we have asked of Him.” In this Season of Renewal of Passion the critical question is this, “What are we asking God for?” My prayer is that we will ask God for a new infilling of His love, a love for Him that will cause us to seek Him first above all things. A love that will seek in all ways to express itself to others in the same manner Jesus’ love expresses itself to us. For at the end of the day, it will be the measure of how we have loved that will make the difference in whether or not we have lived as God’s missional church. There abides, according to Paul, three key characteristics of the church: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love. In closing, I would paraphrase
94
the words of the aged apostle: Let us truly love one another, for love changes the world…it leads to a Renewal of Passion for God. For Him and others, COACH BILL REV. BILL T. CARR, Upstate New York District Superintendent

2. District Sunday School/Discipleship Ministries Chairman’s Report
The mission of the Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International (SDMI) is to carry out the Great commission to children, youth, and adults in preparation for a lifetime of Christian holiness. The 2009-2012 quadrennial theme for SDMI is Sunday School – Make the Connection. Sunday School–whether on Sunday morning or during a small group setting – provides the opportunity to teach people of all ages about Jesus Christ. Sunday School serves as a “connecting point” for our church – discipling, equipping, and encouraging spiritual growth. The Sunday School is a vital part of the Church of the Nazarene. We take seriously the command to “go...make disciples of all nations...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20). Our desire is to teach the Word of God ... to help Christians mature spiritually ... to invite the unchurched people to enroll in a small group. Each of us is a disciple maker in the lives of people we touch. What you do as a disciple-maker is essential in the lives of the people you touch–your life, your words, your actions speak volumes. Your influence in the lives of those who look to you is far greater than you might expect. Paul write to Timothy: “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.” (II Timothy 2:2) We must strive to gain tools that will help us to reach out to others in our communities...to gain a fresh touch of the Spirit of God which enables and empowers us to carry out His Great Commission. There is a place and a ministry for every person. The District SDMI Board would like to partner with you to maximize the effectiveness of today’s Sunday School so that together we can offer Jesus, the Hope to our world.
95
As we receive the challenges the twenty first century brings, remember the words of George Bernard Shaw: “This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.” The mighty task for our people is to turn our discipleship efforts from ordinary to extraordinary. How can we do this? By being welcoming, genuine, considerate and involved in the lives of others. We must create an atmosphere that says to our guests, “You are important – you are loved by the Lord.” Anne Frank says it well: “How wonderful it is that no one need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” The Fall tour was hosted by the following churches: Potsdam, Syracuse Christ Community, Endicott, Amherst, and Rochester Trinity. We were warmed by the friendly atmosphere and willing participation by the local churches. It was a great time to encourage, inspire, and challenge people to keep discipleship ministries one of their priorities I would like to express my appreciation to Coach Carr for his support as I served in the capacity of the SDMI Chairman ... and also to each member of the SDMI Board: Wanda Anderson, Wendy Belt, Dawn & Pat Butler, Rev. Jim Cox, Rev. John Cramer, Sr., Rev. Tim Cramer, Fred Crawford, Rev. Ed Darling, Rev. Keith Hardy, Jr., Gloria Lanning, Rev. Steve Logsdon, Stan McLain, and James Soper. There is a multitude of volunteers who faithfully teach the Word through Sunday School and small group ministries. . Together, let us pray, expect, and trust God to help us have a great year in the harvest field of our Lord. To God Be the Glory, Dennis E. Swart Upstate New York District SDMI Chairman

3. District NMI President’s Report
I thank you for the privilege you have given me to share with you my second report as the Upstate New York District NMI President. It is such an exciting time in the life of the Church of the Nazarene to be a part of NMI. I would like to take a moment to recognize this past year’s NMI council members. Rebecca Dyke – Vice President Pauline Swart – Secretary Sue Brown – Treasurer Rev. David Dyke – Prayer and Fasting Janet Carr – Children’s Missions Deborah Dunn – Deputation Larry Warner – Work & Witness /JFHP Carolyn Klumpp – Missionary Liaison Debbie Cramer – Mission Call Nicholas Buell – NYI Liaison Debbie Reese – Youth Missions Phyllis Stevenson – Alabaster Sue VanDusen – Missionary Health Care Bea McLain – Mission Education Vivian King – Dream Team Representative Barry Cook, Jr. – Dream Team Representative Robin Verschoor -- Dream Team Representative Karen Monaghan -- Dream Team Representative Marty Bausman -- Dream Team Representative Barbara Judd -- Dream Team Representative Augie King -- Dream Team Representative Thanks to each of you for your willingness to serve. Thank you to Coach Carr for the kind words of encouragement he has given to me and for his personal support of NMI. I would also like to thank him for marrying Janet because we love having her as a part of the NMI council and appreciate everything she does to see the children of our district have good solid opportunities to be with and learn about our missionaries. Our local leadership and churches have been faithful in giving to support the Global Ministry of the Church of the Nazarene. Today we can celebrate the fact that as a district we have given $410,339 to the World Evangelism Fund which represents 94.58% of our assigned giving. This was possible because 30 of our 45 churches gave 100% or more. As a district our total giving to missions was over $609,424 which includes $24,000 to Alabaster, $110,000 to Compassionate Ministries, $18,000 to Deputation, and our district LINKS assignments have been overpaid this year – what a blessing for these missionary families. Thank you for your faithfulness! (If you are a Senior Pastor will you please stand) Thank you Pastors! I know that sacrificial giving like this begins with missional thinking pastors who pass this vision and commitment on to their congregations.
97
I would like to recognize those churches who have paid their World Evangelism Fund in full. Would the Pastor and the NMI president stand as I call your church name.

The challenge to make Christlike disciples in the nations is great and the Global Church of the Nazarene is on the forefront of a great movement in holiness evangelism and disciple-making. There has never been a more engaging and important time to be a part of Nazarene Missions International.
The call this year is for each of us to begin this journey of making Christlike disciples in our own Jerusalem. As we seek to evangelize those closest to us we are going to have to be relational, and we are going to have to be authentic. I loved what John Wilson had to say last night about what drew him to his friend Mark Shepardson and why he was willing to listen to what Mark had to say about a relationship with Jesus. He said it was because of the passion and the fire that Mark had for the Lord. Who do you know that needs to have a personal relationship with Jesus? What gifts and talents has God given to you that you could be offering back in service to Him? Are you passionate about Jesus? Are you passionate about the church? What are you going to do about it? It is important that we continue to pray for our missionaries on the field and that we continue to give money toward WEF and alabaster and the many other funds that allow the church to continue
99
to minister around the world. But we must not let ourselves become so involved in evangelizing the world that we neglect to share the life changing power of Jesus Christ with the person who sits next to us every day at work or school.
Thank you again for this awesome opportunity to serve as your District NMI President. I always count it a blessing when I am given a place to serve in the church whether it is enjoying a moment of play time on the nursery floor with the babies during Sunday School, serving punch & coffee at a party, participating in a music ministry or where ever God sees fit to use the gifts and talents he has given me. As I conclude this report, I want to say thank you to my family for their support. Kate is always an encouragement even though it has to be over the phone. She recently declared that I had helped her realize that the public school classroom where she is intern teaching is her own personal mission field. Nicholas is so willing to serve others and to do anything that needs to be done and my husband the Rev. Dr. B. Scott Buell has such a wonderful servant heart and always encourages me in all of my areas of ministry. I am a very blessed person. Respectfully submitted, Donna L. Buell District NMI President Upstate New York District Church of the Nazarene
4. District NYI President Report
Upstate District NYI President’s Report
It is once again my honor and privilege to bring to you my report as your Upstate District NYI President. This is my 5th and final report as President. Over the past two years I have been wrestling with the Lord, seeking His wisdom and direction for my life and my ministries. He has made it clear over the past 18 months that it is time for me to step aside and allow others to lead this wonderful ministry. I am confident that the same God that has led me over these past 5 years will also lead your new President as well. I want you to know that though I came into this position with surprise and reservation not really knowing anyone, I leave having fallen in love with both the leaders and students of this Upstate District NYI. I am so very thankful to each and every student and leader on this District that has over and over again been willing to step up and do whatever was necessary to see students both ministered to and at the same time developed in ministry as well.
100
As I prepare to step down as President, I want to, from the depth of my heart, thank every person whom I have had the privilege of serving along side over these past 5 years. To each of you who has served our students so faithfully in so many capacities (District council members, age group reps, zone reps, camp counselors and staff, local NYI Presidents and leaders, quiz coaches, FOL director, leaders and coaches, local pastors, etc), “Thank You” seems so small. The work of NYI is not about those who sit in elected position on a District council; it is about everyone, working together, to see the students of this district growing in their faith. I thank God today for each and every one of you. In this life you may never get the recognition that you deserve, but know that what you do for the Kingdom, for the students, does not go unnoticed by the Father. One day there will be those words, more precious than any award or accolade given here, spoken by the Father Himself: “Well done good and faithful servant.” Please know today that your labor is not in vain! You are appreciated!!!!!!!! I also want to thank the students of this District for all your support and encouragement. I don’t care what anyone else thinks they know, I know that you are the greatest! I want encourage you with all my heart to continue to grow in your faith and stay connected with one another. God has a plan for your life and it is a plan to bless you in ways you have not yet begun to imagine. There are however 3 people that I must say a special thanks to. Every leader called of God from the time of Abraham and Moses has been blessed with a special group of people that God uses in special ways to bless both the individual and the ministry they are involved in. These three individuals have gone above and beyond the call of duty in ministry to me, and I want to take a personal moment here to thank them publically. Every District has a District Superintendent, but not many are blessed to have a “Coach”. And only one, Upstate, is blessed to have Rev. (Coach) Bill Carr. Rev. Carr has been a blessing to me personally and professionally. Bill, there are not words enough to express my appreciation to you for all the times you stood for me, behind me and along side me. You have been a “Coach”, a Mentor, a co-laborer and friend. Early on as a leader on your District team I saw first hand how you believed in me and trusted in me. Your encouragement throughout these past 5 years has meant a great deal to me. There has never been a time, whether via the phone or face to face, that I have walked away from spending time with you that I was not more encouraged than when we started. And your encouragement was not just limited to me. You have also stood for and with the students of this District when others may have given up. You have never wavered in your belief in the students of this District and on behalf of the students and leaders of Upstate District NYI, I want to thank you and Janet for all you have done. I am thankful to the Lord for the knowledge that whomever God raises up to take this position, they will have the same level of encouragement and support that I have experienced. As many of you may remember, the year that I was elected as President there was another name on that ballot, Diane Daughtry. She was not elected as President, but she was elected as Secretary. Her level of commitment to the Upstate District NYI was unmatched. Whatever was asked of her, when she accepted the task, you just knew it would be done and done well. When she was tragically killed in an accident just over a year later I was concerned about the void that
101
she left. But into that void stepped one that has demonstrated such selflessness and sacrifice that I want to take just a moment and recognize Amanda Cash for who she is and all that she has done. Amanda has served in a couple of positions during that last several years. In 2006, while serving as Camp Director, Amanda was elected as Vice President. Either of these positions by themselves can be overwhelming in regards to amount of time and commitment needed. However, because of her love for the students of this district, and her belief that it was God who had called her, she accepted the challenge and never considered any option but pressing forward to see the Kingdom built. Amanda has gone above and beyond the call of duty more times than I can count. Through the birth of two children (one of them just a month or so before camp) she has done an outstanding job as both Vice President and Camp Director. No matter what I have asked her to do (oversee the web site development, attend meetings and two district tours, etc.) Amanda has done an outstanding job. Amanda, thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of the students of this district, for your encouragement and support of me and your willingness to do whatever was asked of you, including stepping in at the last moment and being our convention speaker last year when the original speaker had an unexpected emergency arise. You really are the BEST! It has been an honor and privilege to serve along side you on this journey. There is one other person (really a group of people) that I want to acknowledge and say thanks to. I am not sure there is anyone that has paid a higher price during my years of ministry in NYI than my wife and family. And yet, at the same time, they have been some of my biggest cheerleaders and encouragers. From the beginning of our marriage, and even before we dated, Deb has encouraged me, supported me and sometimes given me that swift kick in the seat of the pants that I needed to keep going. Along with that she has been willing to take up the slack in so many areas when I have had to be away because of NYI business. She has been my pulpit supply, substitute teacher, counselor, administrative assistant, proof-reader, voice of reason, and so many other things. But most of all she has been my greatest friend and helpmate. When we were married almost 19 years ago we committed our lives and our marriage to being a tool in the hands of God for the building of His Kingdom. Through it all, including coming back from our honeymoon right into NYC, she has been right beside me. Deb, I love you and I cannot imagine this journey without you. You are truly a gift from God! When David, Isaac and Tim came along they had no idea (or choice really) of what they had gotten themselves into. They too have had to sacrifice time with dad to allow me to do what God had called me to do. And yet at the same time I always kept in the back of my mind that one day the work that I was doing would benefit them. The time as gone too quickly and now both David and Isaac are member of NYI, and a year from now Tim will join them. I only pray that they, and many other students like them, will be better off because of the labors I have given. David, Isaac and Tim thank you for all the ways you have been willing to share me with so many others. Thank you for all the ways that you have loved me and encouraged me. I could not have asked for any better sons than the three of you. I love you!
102
Today the Upstate District NYI is in great shape. God is clearly at work in the hearts and lives of the students and leaders of this District. There is a real sense of community amongst our students, and even our leaders. We have had great leaders in the past, but there are even greater leaders ready and able to take the reigns of leadership and follow the Lords direction as He takes our students to even greater heights. Today I will step aside and another will be elected to fill this position. Please know that I will still remain one of your biggest supporters and prayer warriors. In many ways my heart will always be with NYI. More importantly however, I want to remind you today that as earthly leaders come and go there is always one constant. And that constant is God. He never steps down or retires, He is always in control. He has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Just as He was in control 5 years ago when Deb Reese stepped aside and I was elected, so I know without a doubt that He is in control today. My closing thought, my closing prayer as your District NYI President is best summed up in the words of the apostle Paul, found in Philippians 1:3-11:
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.”
Respectfully Submitted, Daniel R. Eddings

RESOLVED that the Board of General Superintendents shall appoint a commission that shall create a proposed apportionment system based on the biblical principle of tithe and offerings, as we affirm for our local church (Manual paragraphs 38.1-2, 131-131.2). . . .
There were several principles that the BAC adhered to throughout its discussions. They revolved around the concepts of fairness, simplicity, and current financial realities.
Lower allocations: The committee soon realized that any change to the allocation system had to involve a reduction in total amounts requested from the local church. Simply shifting the current requests from one group of churches to another was regarded as futile.
The committee, in considering the original request, suggested that raising an amount equal to ten percent plus offerings would fulfill the resolution’s mandate
Income based: The committee recommended that any new formula be based on current year income, not expenditures. This was in keeping with the language in the original resolution. Tithe is based on income, not expenditures. WEF and all approved Mission Specials are to be reported as church income. However, these funds will be subtracted from total church income before the percentages are applied for WEF, P&B and Educational funds. Total income is derived by subtracting line 34 from line 30 of the Annual Pastors Report. Deductions: The committee agreed that few, if any, exemptions should be given when computing allocation percentages. The argument against exemptions stressed that the “biblical principle of tithes” did not include exemptions. However, the committee
110
recognized that many churches have built their current financial structure on the assumption that capital improvements require no allocation support.
Explanation of Calculation of Funds
1. That the latest Fund Formula of the General Board and Board of General Superintendents be followed. We should prayerfully plan for and promote 100% payment of every Fund.
a. The World Evangelism Fund will be 5.5% of total monies raised based on current year income.
b. The ENC Education Fund will be 2.5% of total monies raised based on current year income.
c. The Pensions & Benefits Fund will be 2.0% of total monies raised based on current year income.
d. The District Fund will range between 5.75% - 6.75% of total monies raised based on prior year income.
e. That the Auxiliaries Apportionments be allocated based upon total monies raised from the prior year based on the needs of the various Auxiliaries.
Local
2. That each church be encouraged in the stewardship of its possession as this is related to
Wills and Planned Endowment Gifts on behalf of the church with special emphasis on behalf of Mission and Education, and that each Pastor use the services of the Office of Stewardship Development Ministries of the General Church to provide guidance for members of each congregation.
3. That any church seeking to acquire a new mortgage, or refinance an existing mortgage
during the year must have approval from the district advisory board.
4. That our churches encourage members of their congregations who are employees of corporations with “Matching Funds” programs to consider giving to ENC, in keeping with corporate guidelines, in an effort to increase the revenue received by Eastern Nazarene College.
5. That each local church provide Medical/Hospitalization Insurance coverage and Long
term Disability Insurance for their pastor and family and staff. Each church is to consider including a Dental allowance as part of the benefits. We would caution pastors and churches in making un-researched changes in health insurance coverage for the parsonage family, based solely on premium cost, without comparison of coverage. Each local church should assume payment of their pastor’s portion of this cost. If any situation develops threatening to cause cancellation of coverage, the district office is to be notified.
6. All churches with paid staff who have not paid their allocations in full must submit a
request for continuance of that staff on a yearly basis through the District Advisory Board. A congregation may not be granted permission to go into major debt or refinancing for any building or improvement program, or to buy vehicles or major
111
equipment, until it has shown its ability and willingness to pay all of its allocations (local, district, general) and to carry the additional payments of the debt, in harmony with the policies of the District Church Properties Board or the District Advisory Board. (Para. 103, 104 Manual) A major debt is anything of $1,000 or 5% of Total monies raised, whichever is greater.
7. That churches and church type missions receiving district support may not increase
expenditures for buildings, equipment, vehicles, annual salaries, or purchases of any single item amounting to more than five percent of their annual income without written approval of the District Advisory Board. Furthermore, all churches receiving district assistance are required to submit a monthly report to the district office.
8. That, realizing the importance of the World Evangelism Fund, our churches not
undertake missions or Work and Witness trips until adequate plans have been implemented to assure the full payment of their World evangelism allocation, which is the lifeline of the World Mission program.
9. That each church board adopts an annual budget for use as a tool in monitoring its
finances on a monthly basis. (Para. 129.6, 129.7 Manual) Each local church treasurer and/or auxiliary treasurer is to submit an itemized financial report to the monthly meeting of the local church board, and that these reports be posted on a monthly basis for the church to review. The financial records should be reviewed annually by the finance committee and that a report be sent to the district treasurer within 90 days following the District Assembly. (Para. 129.21, 129.22, 129.23, 135.2, 135.4, 135.5 Manual) The district treasurer stands ready with counsel or advice upon request. In addition, we recommend that each church have its books reviewed by an outside auditing firm at least every three years.
10. That each local church should make an annual contribution to the Nazarene Bible College
and the Nazarene Theological Seminary.
District
11. The District Treasurer will post his report every month via the District Web page.
12. That the District Superintendent be granted five weeks vacation with pay to be taken at his/her discretion.
13. That the District Advisory Board evaluate the District Superintendent’s need for a plan to
provide a period of rest, renewal and study; and that such a plan would be mutually agreed upon so that it would benefit both the District Superintendent and the District with regard to short and long term of their ministry objectives, and that financial arrangements for that period of time be mutually agreed upon. The District Advisory Board shall evaluate this plan during the 5th year of the District Superintendents tenure to be taken no later than the 7th year of his tenure.
112
14. That district personnel, such as members of district boards and committees, be reimbursed at the current IRS mileage rate, plus meals, lodging, and tolls, incurred while traveling on district business unless otherwise agreed upon; and that the other office expenses be taken care of and paid through the various boards and committees.
15. That the District Superintendent, District Advisory Board, District Secretary, District
Treasurer, and other such personnel as may be designated by the District Superintendent, who are not sent by their local church as a delegate, be granted partial assistance for expenses at the District Assembly and that these be determined by the District Advisory Board prior to the District Assembly.
16. That the District Treasurer has their books reviewed within 90 days from the close of the
District Assembly by a public accountant every year. The District Treasurer presents a certificate of review to the District Auditing Committee (Para. 203.25 Manual); and that the District Treasurer confers with the newly elected auxiliary treasurers concerning bookkeeping procedures.
17. That all money received from the sale of properties of disorganized churches, less
encumbrances and costs will be received by the District Advisory Board for New Starts Restarts.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Hawkins, Secretary Bill Carr, District Superintendent/Chairman
2. Committee on Ministerial Support
The New Testament church recognized that the persons called to be pastors, full time associates, evangelists, and teachers should make that ministry their primary task and should give themselves to it fully.

E. That each church provide for all full-time pastors and associate(s) housing and utilities (including internet and phone expenses), except personal long-distance phone calls.

Where possible, the above home equity be provided for full time associate(s) as well.
G. That all churches give full support to the Pensions and Benefits Fund, which benefits the pastor, full time associate, retired pastors, and widowed spouses.

Reimbursement for Local Church Expenses
A. That each church is encouraged to pay the travel expenses for pastor and full-time associate pastor(s) while on official church business at the approved IRS mileage allowance.
B. That each church provide travel, food, and lodging expenses for each pastor and full time associate pastor attending official district meetings when such expenses are not paid by the district.

V. Other Recommendations

C. That each church board please review the recommendations of this committee annually; and that the district office send a copy of this report to each local church board secretary, treasurer and pastor for their review.
D. Out of a deep concern that our pastors avoid stress and burnout and maintain a clear continuing vision for their church, we make the following recommendations:
1. That every pastor and full-time associate take one day of rest every seven days. The congregation should make every effort possible to see that this day is free of unnecessary interruptions.
E. That the church board and the pastor bi-annually evaluate the pastor’s need for a plan to provide a period of rest, renewal and study; and that such a plan would be mutually agreed upon so that it would benefit both the pastor and the church with regard to short and long term of their ministry objectives, and that financial arrangements for that period of time be mutually agreed upon.

2. That each church set aside weekly an amount established by the church board for expenses of its pastoral staff and spouse(s) to attend each Conference on Evangelism and the General Assembly, such time to be considered in addition to vacation time.

D. Brooktondale Nazarene Camp & Retreat Center
The initial comment heard over and over, from the beginning of the 2009 – 2010 Camping season, related to the apparent beauty of our camp grounds. We thank Dick VanDusen for his diligent and careful care of the Brooktondale Camp & Retreat Center, mulching leaves, keeping lawns manicured. We thank the many volunteers who continually upgrade buildings, in an ever increasing effort to make sure that what we have is in good order. Budget - The District continues to support the Brooktondale Camp & Retreat Center with well over $30,000 a year. This year the District obtained ownership of 5 cottages, so more quality overnight opportunities could be offered to guest families. An extensive effort has been made to minimize utility costs on the Camp & Retreat Center in the off season, and this year we saw a reduction of 45% in those costs. We have tried to make our camping programs more family friendly, and saw nearly a doubling of camping income over the past year. We were also able to manage food cost very carefully, and saw an impressive reduction in food expense without sacrificing the quality of meals we present. Board Meetings – The District Camp Board met 4 times; 1) During Camp Opening Weekend – settling on goals for the season, 2) During Family Camp – to update on Family Camp concerns, 3) In August to review project status and discuss policy concerns, 4) In February to plan a budget, and nominate for next year’s District Camp Board. Once again Camp Opening Weekend saw extensive effort by many volunteers to alleviate health and fire code concerns, and to prepare a safe and inviting environment to bless us by giving their energy to extra cleaning, painting and ground care projects. The Prime-Timers once again continued to add finishing touches with a love of the Brooktondale facilities that would bless the many guests to follow. Family Camp Coordinator – Once again Deb Eddings did a beautiful job coordinating activities at Family camp, and making it much more family friendly, with special family trips games and activities. Teen Camp was an exciting week, with a record number of avid participants. We have excellent leaders with our Young People that not only command respect but also lead them to increased spiritual depth in their lives. Children’s Camp featured Two Talk for Two, a beautiful time of reconciliation with God and confession to each other. A highlight was when, in an intense cooperative effort, 23 children and adults managed to get in a weather balloon at one time. Urban Camp proved to be a coming together of many peoples to continue to provide a total scholarship camp for at risk inner city youth.
118
The School of Ministry continued to use the grounds as an invaluable tool for self-evaluation and training for emerging pastoral leaders. This year saw an intensive evaluative review by our Insurance provider, with over 50 upgrades and improvements recommended. Many of these have already been completed, as we intentionally take our facilities to higher levels of quality. Projects included extensive repair of the North wall of the Motel, and the installation of 6 top quality thermal windows as we continue the Motel upgrade. We have 6 more windows ready to go in, and money to continue with the major portion of the project. The new policy of mulching leaves has reduced major raking and disposal effort, that has continually drained volunteer energy in the past. We were able to repair the damaged Dining Hall septic system, upgrade the shelving in the Boutique, seriously upgrade the Tabernacle Sound system, and begin improvements to the Recreation Room floor by resealing the North foundation wall, and installing a system to drain water from the building. A partial roof was installed in upgrade of the 41-47 dorm and Cabin #64 demolished. It was especially exciting to paint the floors, and install a Deep Fryer in the Gathering Place. Thank you Ron Norman for beautiful signage. Our goals for the coming year include completion of the Motel Window Replacement Project, completion of the Recreation Center floor, increasing the number of good quality Family rental units with toilet facilities included. Please be in touch with camp supporters, as to the role you might take in upgrading this gift of land God has given to us, and assist us to maximize it’s ability to glorify His Name! We look forward to a great year, and trust, with God’s blessing, that in this coming camping season, as we celebrate the Brooktondale Camp’s 80th Anniversary, we might see new life from the Holy Spirit flooding these grounds. Respectfully submitted, Stan McLain Administrative Director

The Sunday School is a vital part of the Church of the Nazarene. He challenged us to pray, expect, and trust God to help us have a great year in the harvest field of the our Lord. A Board of Tellers was called and the ballot for the election of the SDMI District Board was spread. Results of the ballot for SDMI District Board as follows: a total of 58 votes cast. SDMI District Chairman: Rev. Jim Cox, 33; Rev. Duane Lum, 25; Ministerial Representative for a three-year term: Rev. Tim Cramer, 41; Rev. Richard Norman, 16; Layperson Representative for a three-year term: Holly Cornell, 24; Amy Marti, 33. The chair declared the following elected: Rev. Jim Cox as SDMI District Chairman; Rev. Tim Cramer for a three-year term as Ministerial Representative; and Amy Marti for a three-year term as Layperson Representative. Coach Bill Carr closed our District SDMI Convention with a challenge to go forth with the authority of Jesus Christ–an authority that can change the world today just like the days of the early church.
