FAQ

The word "tithe" originates from the Hebrew term for "tenth" found in the Old Testament. God calls us to return our first and best to Him. Tithing involves giving the first tenth of our income to the Lord for use in the church. As shown in 2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV), "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
When we tithe, we do more than just fulfill an obligation; we actively participate in a principle that brings us closer to God and His blessings. Here’s how:
We put God first: By tithing, we prioritize our relationship with God above all else. It’s a tangible way to demonstrate our faith and commitment, acknowledging that everything we have comes from Him.
We establish God's covering: Tithing invites God's protection and favor over our lives. It’s a spiritual act that aligns us with His will, ensuring that we are under His divine care and guidance.
We trust in God's provision: Tithing is an act of faith that shows our trust in God's ability to provide for our needs. It’s a reminder that we are not solely reliant on ourselves.
