The 15% limit is based on your church’s original 2026 calculated apportionment, before the Conference Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) adjustment was applied.

For 2026, CFA used Conference reserves to reduce the amount apportioned to local churches. As a result, your 2026 report showed both your original calculated apportionment and your final reduced apportionment.

If you compare your 2027 apportionment to the reduced 2026 amount, the increase may appear to exceed 15%. However, when compared to the original 2026 calculation, the increase is within the 15% limit.

If you have questions about your church’s calculation, please contact the Conference Treasurer’s Office.
