TITHING

GIVE OF YOUR HEARTS RICH OVERFLOW

Mary baker eddy

The vital part, the heart and soul
of christian science, is love

At the heart of our church mission is our practice of tithing to organizations whose good works, we support both locally and around the world. We contribute ten percent of our collection to our monthly tithing recipient but more important is our support of their mission through individual and collective prayer. Through prayer requests from each organization we learn about their specific needs and challenges and often address these topics from a spiritual standpoint in our Wednesday testimony meetings.

We cherish each one of our tithing partners. We feel honored to link arms with them in support of all they are doing for humanity. They really are an extension of our church family!

We invite representatives from these organizations to speak to our congregation about the impact of their missions. Their informative and inspirational presentations allow us to better support them prayerfully. Several of our tithing partners were introduced to us by church members who are directly or indirectly involved with them. We love cherishing both these members and their favored public benefactors in this way!

Some of our tithing recipients of 2025

Groupe Scolaire La Tendresse Democratic Republic of Congo

Part of E3:Elevating Education Everywhere
A primary school started by a family of Christian Scientists who felt compelled to help children. Because of war and civil unrest in the country, many children had their education interrupted or were not able to begin school at all. In fact, the government instituted a rule that if a child hadn't started school by age 7, they were not permitted to start. These children, known as "drop-out children", were welcomed at La Tendresse. The school opened the school year with 125 students and is expected to grow quickly. They employ 7 teachers, who are paid only about $50 a month.

What a privilege to support this school!
