Giving Options and Tithing                   

 

Tithing is a common practice among Christian churchgoers and involves giving a portion of your income to the church. This is an important means of support for our church and our ministries, and we count on and encourage the practice of regular tithing. A tithe can count as a charitable contribution provided the IRS rules for both giving and filing are followed correctly.  Together we are Changing and Growing through Christ...

Tithing

The Bible simply states to give to the Lord (1 Corinthians 16:2; 2 Corinthians 9:7). We should be giving to the church we attend, serve at, and worship in! If a Christian believes the Lord is leading him to give 10% as tithe, primary giving should be to his/her local church with any "additional offerings" to other Christian causes or events.

 

Q. Does that entire 10% tithe have to go to the local church, or can it be split between the church and other Christian organizations? 

 

A. We believe the full 10% tithe should go to the local church, and any other Christian giving should be over and above the 10% and given according to the Lord’s leading.(based on the storehouse principle of Malachi 3:10).
 

 The Bible instructs all believers in Jesus Christ to give generously, to give cheerfully, and to give regularly. There is no biblical formula for how to split a tithe offering between your local church and any other Christian organization. Believers should pray for wisdom in regard to how much and to whom God would have them make their offerings.


What matters most is that believers make sacrificial financial offerings to God’s work, wherever and in whatever way He leads.
