Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that while the Mission Area successfully paid its diocesan share for 2024, many of its constituent churches are struggling to maintain these financial obligations alongside building maintenance costs. To address this pressure, the organization has negotiated a reduction in its clergy figure for 2025 to lower its overall financial obligation to the diocese.
