On average, the church employs 35 to 40 staff members and contractors with about 15 to 20 of the employees being full-time. As well, over 800 Serve Team members serve across 3trees locations and ministries each week with numerous coordinators leading these teams locally.
In most years, 3trees budget is set based on 90% of the previous year's income with any excess being allotted to capital improvements, deferred maintenance, or expansion efforts. The most recent year’s budget recap can be viewed via the "Year In Review" link.
Church staff abides by a purchasing process and financial transactions are reviewed by an accounting firm that specializes in church procedures. Additionally, all executive compensation (or that of any executive's blood relatives) is set by an independent compensation committee and advised by compensation studies that are performed by accounting firms which specialize in nonprofit management.
