Grace Community Church (GCC), the influential evangelical megachurch led for 56 years by radio preacher John MacArthur, will slash spending by 20% in its new fiscal year beginning July 1, a Father’s Day announcement revealed.
“For the first time in more than a decade we have faced the effects of a financial recession in our giving this past fiscal year,” said MacArthur in the statement read by GCC college pastor Austin Duncan. MacArthur, who’s preached only once since last July due to health concerns, turns 86 on June 19.
Despite what he called “some large donations” in 2023 and 2024, the current budget appears unsustainable, MacArthur said. “As we look ahead to the coming fiscal year, starting July 1, our elders recognize the need to reduce our budget at the church by about 20%.”
