Each year, NCC schedules a comprehensive third party audit, performed by Fitzgerald & Co., CPAs, P.C. The results of the audit are available for review by NCC leadership upon request.

 

How NCC Makes Financial Decisions

National Community Church is administered by an Executive Leadership Team (ELT), which currently consists of the Executive Pastor, the Dream Collective Pastor, the NoVA Location Pastor and the Lead Pastor. As set out in the NCC Bylaws, the members of the ELT are appointed by the Lead Pastor and are ratified annually by NCC Active Leaders. 

NCC also appoints a Stewardship Team. This team currently consists of two non-staff NCC leaders. They are appointed by the Lead Pastor and ratified by NCC’s Executive Leadership Team. All of the Stewardship Team members have served in ministry leadership at NCC and have experience in business or finance.

Every fall, all Budget Managers (staff who manage various departments) submit a budget proposal for the following year. The ELT and the CFO review the budget line by line and balance what they can based on projected income. This is then submitted to the Stewardship Team for review and approval.

The Stewardship Team also determines the salaries of everyone on staff. Previous years’ performance and supervisors' recommendations are submitted to the Stewardship Team for consideration regarding raises and bonuses, but ultimately, the Stewardship Team decides. For each position, they research comprehensives based on the portfolio, cost of living, and qualifications to determine a salary range, and they also take the person’s experience and education into consideration.
