20. Of The Grace Of Giving

We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to them, is obligated to support their local church financially with free-will gifts and offerings. We believe that a Christian relinquishes all rights to direct the use of the tithe or offering once the gift has been made. (Genesis 14: 20; Deut. 8: 18; Prov. 3: 9-10; Malachi 3: 10-12; Matt. 23: 23; Luke 6: 38; Acts 4: 34-37; I Cor. 16: 1-3; II Cor. 9: 6-10; Gal. 6: 6; Eph. 4: 28; I Tim. 6: 17-18; I John 3: 17).
