Posting insurance check

I would appreciate an easy way to set up a miscellaneous income account. I had someone else set up PC+ several years ago and I have upgraded to PC+14 . Since we are a small church we don't have a lot of different stuff. We had an insurance check come in for damages. I was going to go to Fund accounting and use our regular church acct as the debit, but unsure how to do the credit since I don't have a miscellaneous or other income account set up. The steps to do that would be appreciated.
Sorry I just don't want to do it wrong, no one has had any accounting training here.
Thank you.

Its very simple, just open the Maintain Chart of Accounts in Fund Accounting, and at the top of the window, click the ADD button. The program will then ask you what type of account you want to add, just select INCOME, and then select a number within the 4000 series. I suspect whoever setup the program used the default income account number for the main contribution income account, (Ex: 4110) just enter an number something like "4199" and the name, Miscellaneous Income. This process is covered in the PDF manual found in the \Powerchurch\PCPLUS14 folder.
