Article V. Financial Guidelines<br />

3. In addition to the <strong>Church</strong> Tithe, Conferences are<br />

encouraged to support additional essential ministry<br />

through voluntary designated giving.<br />

4. Each Conference Discipleship Ministries Department shall<br />

tithe monthly to the General Discipleship Ministries<br />

Department on all Discipleship Ministries tithes from local<br />

churches. Tithes from the following Conference ministries<br />

shall be designated for the same ministry at the general<br />

level:<br />

a. Girls’ Ministries<br />

b. Men’s Ministries<br />

c. Royal Rangers<br />

d. Women’s Ministries<br />

5. Conferences are not allowed to establish Conference<br />

allocations in addition to the <strong>Church</strong> Tithe. This does not<br />

prohibit Conferences from conducting special fund-raising<br />

or capital campaigns for specific projects.<br />

6. Each Conference shall be subject to some form of annual<br />

financial accountability. Conferences whose annual gross<br />

receipts are less than $400,000 shall demonstrate<br />

accountability by having an external review by a competent<br />

outside accountant. If annual gross receipts are from<br />

$400,000 to $800,000, such accountability shall consist of<br />

an external review by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).<br />

If annual gross receipts exceed $800,000, such<br />

accountability shall consist of an audit conducted by a<br />

Certified Public Accountant (CPA). The report of such<br />

accountability shall be forwarded to the Global Ministry<br />

Center within 30 days of issuance.<br />

C. Local <strong>Church</strong>es<br />

1. Based on the biblical tithing principle, Local Member<br />

<strong>Church</strong>es shall send a <strong>Church</strong> Tithe (10 percent) monthly<br />

to their conferences on their tithes and regular offerings.<br />
