Church Structure

Programs (Ministry Efforts)

  • Programs are the ongoing ministry efforts of your ministry departments. They're the things your ministry departments budget for and/or congregation members give towards. For example:
    • Weekly worship services at a specific campus.
    • Short-term mission trips.
    • Mid-week children's programs.
    • A building Campaign fund.
  • Every Program must be assigned to a Ministry (department) and a Congregation (campus).
  • There should be at least one Program for every possible pairing of Congregation and Ministry.
  • You need at least one Program for each particular account number. While you do not need to create all possible Programs, you need to create all Programs that reflect ways people can give to particular things that must be tracked at a campus/department basis.
  • Programs can be either for Donations (tax-deductible) funds OR handle registration (non-tax-deductible) funds.
  • The list of Programs will remain somewhat static, but may change from time-to-time based on your ministries' activities.
