Revenue Task Force
Building rentals, fundraisers, and Scrip are just some of the ways TJMC brings in needed revenue to support ourselves as the beacon of UUism that we envision. In an effort to maximize these revenue streams, to initiate new efforts, and to strengthen our church’s financial health, the TJMC Board of Trustees has initiated a Revenue Task Force. We are looking for interested congregants to help in this effort. The Task Force will evaluate current revenue-producing programs, and also brainstorm, prioritize, and plan for future ones.
Task Force Chair: David Mick
