Financial Sustainability:
To address recommendations found in the 2021 Financial
Sustainability Study Group (FSSG) report, the Executive
Committee formalized the appointment of a Financial
Sustainability Taskforce comprised of the Chairs and Vice
Chairs of the Boards of Trustees and Christian Stewardship,
the President and Vice President of the Plymouth Foundation,
the Moderator, Moderator-Elect, Senior Pastor, and Director of
Finance. The taskforce met quarterly to monitor financial trends,
anticipate future financial needs, and make recommendations
to the Executive Committee. The Advisory Committee of past
moderators, as defined in the bylaws, met in 2024 to provide
input to the taskforce. This taskforce will continue into the
2024-2025 program year.
Council Changes:
2023-2024 saw changes in some boards and committees due to the
amended bylaws. Those and other changes are listed as follows:
• The Board of Christian Social Action (BCSA): To address
LGBTQIA+ education, advocacy, and outreach, The Rainbow
Action Network was created as a committee under the BCSA.
The Anti-Human Trafficking Committee was dissolved. Both

Committee and Church Council.
