WUMC Debt Report: It’s Gone!!
The Administrative Council approved the recommendation brought by the Finance Team and the Board of Trustees to access funds from our Stifel Investment account to pay off
the debt on our 27 N. Maple Street rental property. On these instructions, Rev. Robin and Gene Henson delivered a check for $24,500 to FSB, paying off our debt amount. As of
today, WUMC has “ZERO” debt! Praise God! We still have $30,000 in our Stifel Investment fund. We will be having a Note Burning Ceremony in the near future! Both
of our rental properties are filled, bringing in $800 per month (minus deductions for property taxes and maintenance).
