Committee Chair: Tess Judge

In 2025, All Saints pledge income was 104% of budget and loose plate was 82% of what was budgeted. Donations from non-pledge parishioners were significantly greater than budgeted and our expenses exceeded budget at 102 %. As 2025 was a transition year with our new Rector, we had some increased expenses for transitioning. We thank our Stewardship Committee for their work this year. The proposed 2026 budget was constructed anticipating pledges of $365,000.00. As of 12/31/25 we have 70 pledges for a total of $345,830.00. The Vestry met and adjusted the 2026 proposed budget as of 12/31/25 including anticipated pledges not yet received. As of today, we are still receiving pledges for 2026. The 2026 budget pledge projection is now $355,000.00.

In 2025 we had significant expenses to the Administration/Education building of a new roof and a new exterior door to the day care. In addition, we had a new door installed at the rear of the sanctuary and exterior hand railings at the rear of the sanctuary leading to the parking lot. We also had major Parking Lot expenses with repair, sealcoat and stripe. These expenditures were funded from the Building Contingency Fund. In 2025 we also employed a part time maintenance staff for building maintenance and upkeep. In continuance of maintaining the aging buildings, we will be allocating $1,517.00 monthly to the Building Contingency fund.

We thank Debbie Lubeiski for again all her continued work maintaining our landscaping beds and keeping our grounds beautiful. We owe Lynn Usher, Junior Warden, a huge thank you for his tireless work as our Junior Warden. His attention to detail, dedication and commitment provided countless hours of service to our church.

All Saints in 2025, had an amazing year as our Servant Ministry Committee through Holly Days and After Dark gave back to the community in outreach an excess of $44,430.00. This is wonderful for our church, giving to our community and its needs. We are grateful to our parishioners for all their many hours of volunteer work to make this possible.

It has been an exciting year with our new Rector, Father Tommy Drake. We have been blessed by his presence among us and thank him for all he has done and is doing as our Shepherd. His vision and passion are witnessed each day. Together All Saints will continue to grow our ministry and mission on the Outer Banks. We all pray for the health, peace and well-being of our All-Saints family, our community, our State and Nation.

All Saints are grateful to our parishioners for their continued faithfulness and financial support!
