The Bible teaches us a baseline standard for giving: the tithe. When we give the first 10% of our income to the church, we put God first in our lives. But it's not about the transaction—it's about putting our relationship with God above everything else. Tithing is the foundation of our giving—an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for God and others.
Tithing—which just means "tenth"—is a giving principle taught throughout the Bible as giving the first 10% of our income back to God's purposes. It's one of the most tangible ways we worship God because it declares that he is first in our lives. By bringing our tithes to the local church, we show God we trust him and actively become part of the most important work in life that there is—spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. Dig deeper into the biblical teaching around tithing by reading these verses: Leviticus 27:30, Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:6-10, Matthew 6:19-24, and 1 Corinthians 16:1-2.
There's only one place in the Bible where God told His followers to test Him. In the book of Malachi, when teaching about generosity, God said, "Test me in this and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven." But it's not about the money. When it comes to our finances, what God really wants from us is our hearts and our trust.
Tithing—a giving principle that teaches us to give the first 10% of our income to the local church—is one of the most tangible ways we can worship God. It declares that He is first in our lives and opens our hearts to His plans. If you're not tithing already, a great way to start is with the 90-Day Challenge.
We believe wholeheartedly that God blesses those who live generously, so we want to issue a challenge: Tithe for three months and see what happens. If you don't start to see a transformation in your heart or in your life, we will refund 100% of your tithe—no questions asked. (If you have questions, email

Let's trust Him and watch what He does.
