The Treasury Services segment of the Office of the General Minister and President (OGMP) administers a carefully designed system to receive, record, acknowledge and distribute funds that support the outreach ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). These funds include all contributions received from Disciples Mission Fund, the Week of Compassion and Reconciliation.

Treasury Services records reported and actual contributions, which frequently total over 2 million dollars, on a monthly basis. These funds are allocated and distributed monthly to regional outreach ministries, general units, seminaries, universities and other organizations affiliated with the church. Treasury Services honors special requests, be they individual or congregational, to ensure donations are properly allocated. Treasury Services applies the General Board's strict guidelines to all general donations.

Treasury Services provides contribution reports to congregations and outreach ministries. Detailed records of congregational outreach are provided for publication in the annual yearbook.

Treasury Services also provides financial and accounting services for the Office of the General Minister and President, Communication Ministries, Council of Christian Unity and for other events and segments such as the Week of Compassion, Reconciliation, Yearbook, Promotion and Stewardship.
