Cash & Check Handling (Weekday)
Cash and check donations or payments received during the week must be handled securely, consistently, and with clear accountability across all campuses.
Storage Requirements
- Each campus must maintain a secure safe with a drop slot (drop lid).
- All funds should be deposited into the safe immediately upon receipt.
- The safe should not be opened for each individual deposit.
Cash Handling Expectations
- Cash and checks must never be left on desks, counters, or in unsecured or open areas at any time.
- All handling of tithes and offerings should reflect professionalism, care, and strong stewardship of resources.
Documentation of Funds
- All money received during the week must be placed in an envelope (or similar secure method) before being deposited into the safe.
- The envelope should clearly indicate what the funds are for (ministry, event, or other designation).
- This ensures clarity and accuracy when funds are collected, counted, and processed.
Campus Responsibility
- Each campus is responsible for ensuring funds are secured properly at all times.
- Access to the safe should be limited to authorized personnel only.
Sunday Processing
- The safe must be emptied on Sunday mornings by the designated offering collection team.
- All funds removed should follow established counting and deposit procedures.
Key Principle
All funds must remain secure, documented, and traceable from the point of receipt through final deposit.
