Every year, RCA churches contribute financially to the denomination to support RCA ministry and care for pastors. Individual donors also contribute to RCA ministry and mission around the world. The financial services team cares for the finances of the RCA. If you have any questions, please email our department at finance@rca.org.
Assessments and Financials
Church Assessments
Every year, RCA churches contribute a set amount of money per church member to the denomination. With assessments, the RCA is able to equip churches—and you—for ministry and to care for the pastors who serve it. Calendar year 2023 is the last year assessments are in effect. In 2024, covenant shares, a more equitable funding method based on income, will replace assessments. Read more about covenant shares below.
The 2023 assessment is $55.58 per member. The 2024 covenant shares rate is set at 2.7 percent, of which $415,000 will be allocated for theological education.
