In 2004, operation and maintenance of the congregation is expected to cost approximately $1,500 per member household. The philosophy of the Fair Share Dues Policy is that each family should pay according to their capability, with members in higher income brackets bearing greater responsibility. The minimum dues is $300. If a family cannot afford the minimum dues, or cannot afford their fair share dues, they may request a Dues Reduction Form.
