God First

What is Tithing?

A tithe is the first 10% of a person’s income that is returned to God through the local church. Tithing is a biblical principle that invites God’s blessing on our lives and families as we put Him first in our finances.

In Malachi 3:10, God says: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

Easy & Risk Free

When you take the God First: 90-Day Tithing Challenge, we offer a money-back guarantee! If you faithfully tithe to the Abyssinian Church for the full 3-month period and feel God hasn’t proven faithful to His promises, we will refund 100% of the tithes you contributed during these 90 days. No questions asked.

This challenge isn’t about testing God – it’s about giving you the opportunity to experience God’s faithfulness in a new way. We’re so confident in God’s promises that we’re willing to back this challenge with a guarantee.
