The offering counters tally and record the offerings gathered at the preceding worship service (plus any other donations that have come in during the preceding week) and deposit them into the church checking account.  Their records are then shared with the Financial Secretary, the only person on the congregation who knows people’s financial donations.

There are several groups of offering counters that take turns. Typically, each group has a leader and 3 additional members.
