In addition, we will be making a contribution to Presbytery of San Francisco (our most immediately local denominational body) that will be used to support local congregations and initiatives, especially those that align with the core values of PC(USA)’s Matthew 25 initiative: building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty.

Property, Plant, Equipment: Expenses related to general upkeep of the properties kept in trust of Bethel Community (church facility, home located in San Leandro).
