Tithes & Offerings — What's the Difference?

A common question, answered simply.

A Tithe

A tithe traditionally refers to giving the first 10% of one's income back to God, given regularly as an act of obedience and trust, rooted in passages like Malachi 3:10.

An Offering

An offering is any additional gift given above the tithe, whether toward general ministry, a building fund, missions, or a special need. It is given freely and cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7).
