Our church each year provide monies for each department. I want to move monies from general checking to each equity account. How is this done?

If you are talking about moving a random sum of money from a bank account into different designations, you may want to do with asset accounts.
01-1110-000 checking
01-1110-001 department #1
01-1110-002 department #2

Move $100 from checking to department #1
CR 01-1110-000 checking $100
DB 01-1110-001 department #1 $100

If you are talking about a one-to-one correspondence between income and departments, then you can change the "closes-to" on those specific income accounts, as described below:

Add in Chart of Accounts - assuming unrestricted net assets:
01-3111-000 department #1 equity
01-3112-000 department #2 equity

Then, modify the income accounts associated with these departments:
01-4111-000 department #1 income ----> closes to 01-3111-000
01-4112-000 department #2 income ----> closes to 01-3112-000
