Tithes

Tithing

We don't tell you how much you should give to support St. Mark's The Gathering, but the Bible teaches us to give a tithe or ten percent to God. For many, the tithe is just the beginning and they experience the joy of generosity by giving far more to God. If you are currently not tithing, our hope is that you will commit a percentage of your income and increase that amount as you are able in the future until you reach the tithe.

If you are experiencing financial hardship, dont let your inability to give at this time keep you from serving the Lord. Remember that God honors your faithfulness and that your acceptance is not based upon your capacity to give. Please let our pastoral staff know of your situation so that they can pray for and support you. You can contact the pastor at 909.484.9435.

Annual Commitment

The process of prayerfully asking God to guide your decision and then making a commitment with your financial gifts is an act of worship, an expression of gratitude and praise to God and an opportunity to serve God with your financial resources.

Begin with Prayer – As you think about your commitments, please begin with prayer. Thank God for blessing you and ask God for guidance and discernment. Recognize that your offerings express both your desire to serve the Lord and your investment in God’s work.

Assess Your Finances – This is a good time to look at your budget. What does your spending say about your priorities?

Make a Commitment – Determine the percentage of your income that you will give in the coming year. For some, the giving of the tithe is a goal you are growing toward each year. For others, it is the starting point, and you will give far in excess of this. If you are not yet tithing, consider taking a step toward the tithe this year. Determine your giving in proportion to your income. Then set a percentage that you can increase each year until you reach the tithing goal. Online Giving Agreement (pdf)

Celebrate the Joy of Generosity – During the offering time, thank God for the blessings you have received and ask God to bless and use your gifts.
