English term or phrase: first tithing statement
first tithing statement-- As one “filed an inventory”, this allowed a person to assess what one would begin to pay as tithing to the church (back to God) in the first tithing statement that was filled out. (Filling out a first Tithing Statement is no longer required).

Russian translation:акт о начальном внесении десятины
Explanation:
In the RLDS church, new converts prepare a "first tithing statement (an inventory)" to determine their initial net worth. Tithing for these individuals begins with a free-will offering of one-tenth of this amount. New members can spread out the payment of this initial tithe over their lifetimes, depending upon their individual abilities to pay. Some choose to defer payment until after death by donating a portion of their estate to the RLDS church.

After the initial tithing assessment, faithful members of the RLDS church prepare an "annual tithing statement," which requires an accounting of gross income from all sources. From this total, members deduct "basic living needs," which may include expenditures for taxes, housing, utilities, furnishings, maintenance, insurance, food, transportation, personal care, services, and supplies, as well as medical and dental care. The remaining amount constitutes one's "increase," or tithable income. It is one-tenth of this figure-annual gross income minus basic living needs that faithful RLDS members pay as their full tithe.

(первое) обязательство платить десятину


Explanation:
ну по смыслу что-то вроде этого... по-моему, довольно редкое явление, тем более в указанном проявлении... мол, обязуюсь отдавать десятину в таком-то объеме...
