We believe that the primary purpose of tithing (giving God his 10% of our income) is to live by faith, constantly remembering that our hope for the things we need is in God. It is an act of obedience, which constantly points our hearts toward the source of all our material blessings. We believe that the Apostle Paul defines tithing in the Church Age as the appropriate means of supporting pastors and ministers of the Gospel, as well as the ministry of the Church.
