Accountability

Accountability is an important factor in maintaining strength and stability in both our personal lives and in the life of our local churches and ministries.

The Heart of the Matter

At All Peoples Church, we believe that genuine accountability is a matter of the heart. Genuine accountability, is first of all being true to God, to oneself, to one's family, and to the people we serve. If one cannot be true in these areas, it is likely that any other form of accountability will not hold for long.

We endeavor to live by 2 Corinthians 6:3,4: “Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God...”

Having said this, we also believe in setting and being yielded to appropriate accountability structures, so that there will be no room for any reproach being brought to the name of the Lord or His ministry.

Organizational Accountability

All Peoples Church is registered as a wholly Religious Trust in Bangalore, Karnataka, India and is registered under section 12A(a) of the Income Tax Act of 1961.

All Peoples Church currently maintains a simple organizational structure with Ps. Ashish Raichur as the leader, a team of Associate Pastors and Ministry Leaders responsible for various ministries and many volunteers working under the leadership of ministry leaders.

All Peoples Church maintains very minimal full-time salaried staff, while most of the ministries are carried out by believers who serve voluntarily.

Ministerial Accountability

All Peoples Church, Bangalore, India is not a denomination and is neither under the covering of a denominational body nor is it under the covering of any overseas ministry.

Ministerial accountability is established and maintained by:

1. Focusing on the heart of the matter as stated above. If this doesn’t work nothing else will!

2. Building and maintaining strong, meaningful relationships with mature ministers of God, both locally in the city of Bangalore and outside. Ps. Ashish continues to seek out and build meaningful relationships with mature ministers who can impart wisdom, strength and stability both at a personal level and to the ministry of APC as a whole.

3. Submitting to one another in the fear of the Lord (Ephesians 5:21). No person, not even the pastor or ministry leaders, is above this rule.

Financial Accountability

APC maintains complete financial transparency and accountability toward all its ministry leaders and members. Any APC ministry leader or member can ask for and review its annual financial statements at any time. APC’s accounts are audited by chartered accountants Simon Rodrigues & Associates, Bangalore, from 2001 till 2021. From 2021 John Rodrigues & Associates were appointed as statutory auditors for APC’s accounts.

All Peoples Church furnishes a return of income every year to the Income Tax Department, Bangalore.
