St. Barnabas Anglican Church in Calgary is a long-established congregation with unusually strong revenue growth — 53.6% over five years — that far outpaces its peer group, though high board turnover raises a governance question worth understanding. Financially, the church operates at a surplus, directs about 87% of spending to programs, and maintains reserves within the peer-normal range for congregations of its size.
Our Verdict: A 59-year-old Anglican congregation with solid financials, growing revenue, and peer-normal reserves. The one area donors should look into is the very high board turnover (87.5%), which may simply reflect normal parish vestry rotation but is worth a direct question if you're considering a significant gift.
