What is tithing and how is it practiced at Mars Hill?Tithing is the practice of giving a portion of one's income, traditionally 10%, to support the church and it's ministries. At Mars Hill, we see tithing as an act of worship and obedience to God. It allows us to fund various church activities, community outreach programs, and maintain our facilities. We encourage our congregation to tithe as a reflection of gratitude and stewardship, helping to further the work of God's Kingdom. For those interested in tithing at Mars Hill, we provide multiple convenient methods, including online giving through our website, during our Sunday services, or by mail. Your generosity enables us to make a meaningful impact both within our church community and beyond.
