Does Fold understand the ICGC structure?

Yes. Fold is built around General Church Council, Region, District, Local Assembly, with your departments, home cells and ministries and the offices you actually use: Pastor, District Supervising Minister, Regional Overseer, Deacon, Assembly Administrator.

Can Fold produce our district report?

Yes. Membership by group, attendance measured against services actually held, baptisms and confirmations, and income by type, for any period, ready to print or save as PDF for the district supervising minister.

Can we use our own membership categories?

Yes. Member types are the words your church uses, such as Member, New Convert, Child, Visitor, rather than a fixed list written for somebody else's church.

Church software for ICGC assemblies in Ghana

ICGC is organised from the General Church Council and its presbytery through regional church councils, each with a regional overseer, to districts under a district supervising minister, to the local assembly governed by its pastor and elected deacons. Over 450 assemblies report up that chain.

Your structure, not a template

Fold is built for exactly that chain. Each assembly keeps its own register, attendance and giving, the district sees its assemblies, and the region sees the totals.

Levels of oversight

General Church Council
Region
District
Local Assembly

Branches let one account oversee several local assemblys, each keeping its own register.

Your words, not ours

Membership categories

Member
New Convert
Child
Visitor

Offices your church fills

Pastor
District Supervising Minister
Regional Overseer
Deacon
Assembly Administrator

These are examples from ICGC practice. You type your own, and nothing is a fixed list.

Your district report, already filled in

The evening somebody in your local assembly loses every period, assembling figures that were all written down somewhere already. Fold counts them from the records your team kept as they went.

Membership totalled and broken down by departments
Attendance averaged against services actually held, not against Sundays on a calendar
Baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals recorded the week they happen
Income split by tithe, offering and any fund you keep

Who sees the giving

The minister, an administrator and a finance officer. Nobody else. A regional overseer can keep their own people and record attendance without ever opening the giving records, and that is enforced by the database itself rather than by hiding a menu item.

Each local assembly's records are separated from every other church's in the same way. Under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) your church is a data controller and must register with the Data Protection Commission, and choosing software that separates records properly is part of meeting that duty.
