The Salt House Council has approved an updated proposed budget for Salt House's 2025-26 fiscal year. Please click HERE to view the the budget details.

Key changes in expenses include moving to a single full-time pastor (from one full-time and one 3/4-time) and adding a youth leader, along with proposed salary increases and adjustments for various operational costs. We are also also proposing creating a restricted building fund to handle potential emergency repairs efficiently.
