Baptist

Pastor Mark Ferry of West Genesee Hills Baptist Church in Camillus, N.Y., discusses how the economic decline has affected his congregation, the church activities, and the distribution of donated money. The church remains one of only a few in their area that can still afford to pay and keep a pastor.

“We actually ended behind budget $19,000 this year,” said Ferry. “We actually cut $17,000 out of the budget last year, so to see us $19,000 behind this year is significant.”
