Commitment to Stewardship & Financial Responsibility

RCE takes seriously our responsibility to operate with complete integrity and in a manner that is honoring to the Lord. We are committed to managing our finances and utilizing donations for the support of our ministry and ministry projects so that we remain in full compliance with all Internal Revenue Service laws and expectations. We diligently strive to follow all regulations of the IRS, the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Homeland Security for the protection of our donors as well as our partner ministries.

The Finance Committee of the Board oversees the finances of the organization and presents an annual operating budget to the Board for approval.
