Common Questions
The word "tithe" literally means tenth or 10%. Tithing is giving the first ten percent of our income back to God. The Bible says that everything we have comes from Him, so tithing is actually returning to God what belongs to Him. When we tithe, we are putting God first in our lives and trusting Him to provide for all of our needs. An offering is anything we give beyond the 10%.
It takes financial resources to accomplish the work God has called us to do. Our obedient tithes and generous offerings enable City Hope Church to fulfill its mission to invite everyday people to experience the hope of Jesus in every way. Our generosity supports core and outreach ministries and fuels special projects and events.
