Tithes

10%
- Tithes are biblically mandated as 10% of our income
- Used for the financial support of ordained pastors, evangelists, Bible teachers, and administrators
- God asks us to return a tithe. 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.
