Malachi 3:8 ... Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. (9) Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. (10) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. (11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. (12) And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

We believe that to be obedient to God each person will tithe. Also if an individual or family should tithe we believe the church should tithe as well. Each month we tithe by supporting other ministries. The other ministries we support are Appalachian Teen Challenge, Inc., The Answer Ministries, Brother Mesgan Tedla, through the International Concervative Holiness Association or ICHA, Missions, and the Peterstown Food Pantry.
