HOW?

We believe that the way we are called to tithe is by giving ten percent of our finances to our local church that we are a part of. We see this example in the Old Testament when they brought sacrifices to the temple to honor God with their tithes. And most people don't want to think about it practically, but in order to have church, we have to turn the lights on, we have to turn the heat on, and we need to be able to pay for certain things that are requirements for church to happen.

How does a church get money for those things? Through people like you and I that believe in the mission of what God is doing through His church! And since we want to be people that contribute and don't just go around consuming, we shouldn't assume that everything our church has to offer is something we just deserve to have free of charge.

We have to understand that someone paid for that seat we're sitting in, someone paid for those toys our kids will use in the kids' department, and someone sacrificed so we could end up in church. So when we return our tithe to the church, we get the opportunity to provide resources for lost people to meet Jesus that might not otherwise have the chance!

How do we tithe? We tithe through the local church!
