What are Tithes and Offerings?
Tithe
10% of our income is God's.
God asks us to return a tithe. To do so recognizes Him as the Owner of all creation. This is not a financial transaction but an expression of faith and a matter of simple honesty. He designed it to be a blessing to us and to others. The tithe is foundational to His work and our participation makes it the greatest source of funding to advance God’s mission.
The purpose of the tithe is for the spreading of the gospel. Most of it stays in your local conference, ”the storehouse,” to support pastors, education and evangelism. From there the tithe is used to advance God’s work throughout the world at the Union, Division and General Conference levels. Tithing is divinely ordained by God and faithfulness to this practice is designed to be a blessing to us.
Tithe—And How It Works:
Offerings
Offerings are anything you choose to give beyond your tithe. It is an expression of gratitude to God for His blessings and a way to bless the local and world community. We give as the Lord has blessed from a grateful heart.
Offerings support church needs, including ministries, operations, and community outreach.
We return our tithes and offerings as an expression of our love for God.
