Tithing and Offering

A tithe is a portion of your income given as an offering to your local church. The word tithe means tenth in Hebrew. This is why it is recommended to tithe 10% of income. Not to be confused with an offering, which is not a specific amount, but whatever you can give. The Bible tells us this is a way to show that we trust God with our lives and our finances. This helps the church actively be the church by helping others.

“A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy” Leviticus 27:30

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” 2 Corinthians 9:7
