For 2013, Apportionment dollars are extended to mission and ministry around the world in the following ways:

About the 2013 Apportionments
The 2012 session of the Northern Illinois
Annual Conference approved a budget of $8.4 million for 2013. Local church apportionments account for
nearly 80% of the total sources of income next year. The amount each local church contributes in
apportionments is based on a specific formula.
This formula matches expenditures on the local church level and extends
a percentage to similar ministries at the conference and denominational
level. Just as we give to our church in
order to be in mission with our local community and beyond, so our local church
gives “A Portion Meant for Others” in support of ministries around the
conference and the world.
