2 Corinthians 9:6

Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common… Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need."

Acts 4:32

Honor YHWH with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops

Types of Giving

What is a tithe?

Tithing, mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, is a commandment that involves giving 10% of your income as a sign of obedience and trust in YHWH. Tithing is usually done throughout the year. The proceeds from tithing go toward the needs of the local church, pastors, ministries, and outreach.

Offerings

Offerings are made to YHWH in recognition of His providence that is bestowed upon us through His grace; A way to give back to Him in gratitude for the blessings He has provided, and to acknowledge that all good things come from Him. Historically, offerings are given as reverence to Him on designated Holy Days. Offerings come in the form of your time, treasure and talent, as all are given by YHWH.

First Fruits Offering

First fruit giving is typically done once a year, at harvest time, and is meant to be given freely and joyfully. First fruit offerings can be given from a variety of sources, such as a bonus, tax refund, or other gifts you have received throughout the year.

Freewill Offering

A freewill offering is a voluntary gift or contribution made in addition to what is required or expected. It is not made in fulfillment of a vow, pledge, or obligation.

Gifts/Giving

Typical donations that are not tied to tithe obligation or offerings for a specific purpose, are considered gifts. Gifts / donations are often associated with things that move your heart/spirit. Below are a list of some types of giving:

Almsgiving

In the heart of biblical teachings lies almsgiving, a practice as ancient as faith itself. This form of giving is not just about charity; it’s a profound expression of empathy and mercy.
The Bible heralds almsgiving as more than just an act of kindness – it’s a spiritual discipline, an integral part of a believer’s life. Almsgiving, in its essence, is about reaching out to those in need, reflecting the boundless compassion that Christianity advocates.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a demonstration of thanks to The Most High beyond the obligation of tithes. It can be associated with Holy Day offerings, or other acknowledgements of thanks for receiving a blessing or for feeling blessed in general.

Love Gifts

A love offering is a gift given to a service member or pastor, or to someone in need in the congregation, or community in general. Love offerings can be given on occasions like birthdays, Christmas, or anniversaries, and can be used to thank staff for their work.

Sponsorship

Planned Giving

Planned giving, also known as legacy giving or gift planning, is the process of making a charitable donation to an organization at a future date through a financial or estate plan.
