Effective January 17, 2020 the Kamloops Vineyard Church was incorporated and registered under the BC Society Act. Finally a reality, this affords our Directors and Members more robust protections and better equips our church to invest in our future.

Directors are appointed by invitation of the Lead Pastors and Eldership Team and incumbent Directors to serve for a period of two years commencing January of each year, after which their term of service is reviewed year over year.

Fiscal Administration
Our financial year runs to 31 December each year. We hold an annual general meeting (AGM) once a year to report on the prior year activities including presenting our full financial statements and budget for the upcoming year. The AGM may be attended by anyone who considers KVCF their home church and attendance is very much encouraged. Copies of our financial statements are available at anytime on request from the church office.
Beginning Sept 2017 we began publishing a monthly Financial Summary Report summary; this report is published to the church’s website. For a link to the Financial Summary reports please click on the following link to Finance Reports.
