Ninety-three percent of the Congregation Support Section ($12.8 million of the $13.8 million total) is allocated for salaries, benefits, and ministerial reimbursement.


Six members of the church were baptized and confirmed May 18 in the mountains of Mexico outside Ensanada in Baja California. Budget allocations for ministerial personnel help forward the church's missionary task
throughout the world.


WorldService Corps provides short-term and long-term volunteer service in countries throughout the world. The WSC International Guides program provides non-North American adults the opportunity to experience church headquarters and historic sites as interpretive guides. This also presents the international "face" of the church to the public. Guides from Africa, Russia, and South Korea served this past summer.

Also this past summer, eight short-term WorldService Corps volunteers served in Germany, South Korea, Mexico, and Malawi. Volunteers completed their international service by sharing at Spectacular at Graceland University. Long-term volunteers are continuing their service in Australia, Bolivia, and South Korea.

Grants from the Congregational Missionary Development line item support missionary projects in North America and throughout the world. Funds have been provided for opening the church in:

  • Tanzania (East Africa)

  • Honduras

  • India

  • Grandview, Kansas, USA

  • Santa Barbara, California, USA

  • Baja California, Mexico



The first Community of Christ youth camp in Russia was held in 2002 near Borisoglebsk. The event was attended by forty-four campers some of whom have since visited the United States and church headquarters.
