On June 13, the Anglican Church of Canada’s treasurer Beng Wee presented the 2025 audited financial statements to Council of General Synod (CoGS), describing the auditors’ report as “boring”—a positive reflection of the church’s overall financial stability.
Despite a decline in operating revenues and a $2.4-million operating deficit in 2025, strong investment performance largely offset the shortfall, Wee said, with General Synod’s share of the investments in the Consolidated Trust Fund—a portfolio of assets managed on behalf of both the national church and the dioceses—increasing to $41.9 million. The church used $1.2 million of its revolving line of credit to manage cash flow without liquidating investments, preserving long-term returns.
While proportional giving by dioceses and other revenues continued to decline, expenses remained under control, the treasurer reported. He said Church House leaders were committed to responsible financial stewardship, long-term sustainability and reducing reliance on diocesan contributions through diversified revenue initiatives.
“I want to say a genuine thank you to the dioceses for supporting the national office,” Wee said in reference to proportional giving, encouraging CoGS members to bring those thanks back to their diocesan offices.
“Some dioceses are not able to pay, and I say that is okay. We are all participating in God’s ministry and as you support the national office, you are supporting your parish and the wider Anglican Church of Canada.” Detailed 2025 audited financial statements for General Synod and the Consolidated Trust Fund are available at anglican.ca/governance/finance.
