Student Accounts

These are just basic savings "accounts" for your teens--designated donations for your teens held in the youth fund account. Each time a donation or fundraiser money is applied to a student, a new line item for the amount will be 'credited' to the student's account. Each time a payment is due for an event, a 'debit' may be taken from the student account if the parent/student wishes to use those funds rather than pay out of pocket. 

Money Going In

Money may come in from fundraisers or from the Family making payments towards a larger goal payment.  Money may also come in from donations. Donations may include love offerings collected from the church body or we will occasionally receive donations to the youth group fund in general or donations made to specific teens. (Giving these to the church rather than teens directly offers tax breaks to the donors.)  Incoming money is recorded as a 'credit' in the account ledger. 

Money Going Out

Money may go out as payments for any of the various events or outings the teen may participate in.  Outbound money is recorded as a 'debit' in the account ledger. 

We know that families share finances, therefore we do not keep unique student accounts for siblings within the same family. For multiple-teen families, these accounts more accurately work as 'Family Accounts'. Credits and Debits might be noted as arriving for a particular student, but the families may pool their funds together in one account for donations and fundraising and likewise pay from the pooled funds if certain siblings attend events that others will not. 

When a teen graduates, their account is usable up through the end of the summer. Step-up Sunday each fall marks our official transition date in the church for graduates to move on to Young Adult ministries. Any remaining funds in the student account can remain to be used for younger siblings. If there are no younger siblings in the family, the account balance is absorbed into the general youth fund and will be used to bless other families. 

This page holds links to all student/family accounts where you can see the account ledger of credits and debits over time as well as the current balance. Each link is PRIVATEly shared to the email addresses your family requests be used for communication. Nobody else can see your account unless you share it with them separately or request that Pastor JJ add additional email addresses to be allowed to view the document. 

If you do not see your family's name below, chances are that we have not received any incoming money for you, so there has been no need to create an account. This could be because your teen is new to the youth group. Regardless, if you have any questions about getting started, please reach out to Pastor JJ!
