The Conference Apportionment Funds for 2023 have been calculated for each local church on the basis of the church's average "net expenses" for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021 as reflected in the annual reports from the churches and pastors. Those numbers for your church are shown below. Each of the apportionments is calculated separately for each church and rounded to the nearest dollar; however, you can figure the total of the funds for your church, within a dollar or two, with the following formula: multiply your three-year average by the multiplier (which is the figure obtained by dividing the total 2023 funds by the average net expenditures of all the churches).
