Redeemed Christian Church of God
Finance & Accounting Portal
This portal is the official financial management system for the RCCG Kingdom Parish, Aguleri Admin Team. It handles the recording of all church income, calculation and payment of RCCG headquarters remittances, tracking of daily expenses, petty cash management, and the generation of financial reports — so the Parish Pastor can focus entirely on spiritual leadership while the church's finances remain transparent, accurate, and accountable.

The Team
The Kingdom Parish Stewardship Committee manages the church's development and welfare funds — a separate account from the one this team operates. When the main church account is strained by heavy RCCG remittances and cannot cover a local need, the Admin Officer formally requests support from the KPSC. This prevents emergency pressure on the Pastor and on the church members.
Reference
Only the Parish Pastor and the Church Accountant. The Pastor needs full visibility as the principal overseer. The Accountant needs them to do real-time bookkeeping and verify every deposit hits the account.
The Admin Officer does not need alerts — they request funds through the Accountant and only receive what has been approved.
The Church Accountant keeps all records. Every week after Sunday service, they record the collections. Every month, they do a full reconciliation — matching the ledger to the actual bank statement.
Weekly summaries go to the Pastor and Admin Officer. Monthly reports go to the Pastor to review and submit to RCCG authorities. Every quarter, the Admin Officer gives the KPSC a high-level financial health update.
No. The person who physically collects the money must not be the one who records and deposits it.
The correct process: the Head Usher and an Assistant Usher count the cash together after service, sign a "Cash Count Sheet," and hand both the cash and the signed sheet directly to the Accountant. The Accountant then takes full responsibility from that point. This protects the Usher just as much as the Accountant.
No. The Head Usher is the primary Collector of the church's money, while the Admin Team is the Manager and Spender of that money.
If the person gathering the physical cash is also on the team managing the bank accounts and paying the bills, you lose the natural check-and-balance. Keeping the Ushering team and the Admin Team completely separate protects the Head Usher from any suspicion if the accounts ever fail to balance.
No. The person who prepares the numbers and fills in the cheques must not be the same person who signs them.
This rule protects the Accountant. If something goes wrong, they can point clearly to the fact that they only prepared the transaction — someone else authorised it.
The Church Accountant. They deposit the exact amount counted and signed for by the Head Usher, and they attach the bank teller receipt to the internal counting sheet as proof that every naira arrived in the church bank account.
Only the Bank Signatories — the Pastor plus one Elder — can authorise any withdrawal or bank transfer. However, they can only do so after the Accountant has prepared the transaction.
Cash withdrawals should be avoided wherever possible. Direct bank transfers to vendors or the Admin Officer are always preferred.
Instead of the Admin Officer raising a formal request every time they need ₦2,000 for cleaning supplies, the team approves a set monthly float (e.g. ₦50,000) called the Petty Cash Imprest.
The Admin Officer holds and uses this for small recurring purchases, keeps every receipt or proof, and presents them to the Accountant when the cash runs low. The Signatories then approve a top-up for exactly the amount covered by receipts — not a naira more.
Even though they are the authorised signatories, all withdrawals must be initiated by the Accountant first — who fills in the cheque or transfer form based on an actual invoice — and then hands it to the Pastor and Elder to sign.
If money leaves without the Accountant's knowledge, the monthly books will not balance, and trust in the entire system breaks down.
Three conditions must all be satisfied before any Elder signs anything:
✓ The Accountant has prepared the transaction with proof showing exactly why the money is leaving the account.
✓ The Pastor has reviewed and approved that specific expense.
✓ The Accountant has confirmed the account can cover it without leaving the church short for basic operations.
An Elder should never sign a blank cheque or sign simply because they were asked to without seeing these three things.
Generally, no. The bank mandate requires one Category A signature (Pastor) and one Category B signature (Elder).
The only exception is a genuine emergency — if the Pastor is officially incapacitated, out of the country, or transferred and the new Pastor has not yet been added to the mandate. Even then, documented approval from the Provincial Pastor should be obtained first.
No. The main account is strictly for RCCG remittances and local operational expenses.
If the Pastor has a personal or family emergency, that request goes through the KPSC as a welfare matter, kept entirely separate. Mixing personal needs with church operations creates confusion and puts everyone under unnecessary suspicion.
Two. The bank mandate is structured so that any valid transaction requires the Pastor and at least one Elder. Having two Elders means that if one is travelling or unwell, there is always a second available.
When major RCCG financial demands arrive, the Pastor, Admin Officer, Accountant, and both Elders sit together as a small advisory group to review the numbers before deciding how to respond.
When the Pastor receives an RCCG financial demand, he forwards it to the Admin Team for review. If they conclude the account cannot comfortably meet it without hurting daily operations, they notify the KPSC to see if the Development & Welfare Fund can provide emergency support.
If the KPSC is also unable to cover the shortfall internally, the church leadership will then make a public announcement to the congregation as a final option.
The Admin Officer does not pay it on the spot. They bring it to the Accountant and the Pastor for review. If paying it would strain the account, the Admin Officer triggers the KPSC emergency process. Large unexpected bills are never handled independently by one person.
The Admin Team manages the transition. The outgoing Pastor writes a formal handover note. Because the Elders are already co-signatories, the account does not freeze. The Accountant accompanies the new Pastor to the bank to update the mandate. Everything continues without disruption — which is precisely why the structure is built this way.
An Assistant Accountant is highly recommended. If the main Accountant is sick or unavailable, church financial operations cannot stop. The assistant also serves as the second person when counting cash with the Head Usher.
An Assistant Admin Officer is optional — useful if the physical upkeep of the facility is demanding enough to require two people.
