Tithing

Interested in Tithing?

When you tithe, you’re trusting God with your finances.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:21 NIV

Tithing is a biblical principle. God calls us to give the first 10% of the fruits from our labor back to Him. We’ve seen God provide abundantly in our church, and we know He will provide abundantly for you and your family when you put Him first in your finances. In fact, it’s the one area in the Bible where God tells you to test Him.

“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.” Malachi 3:10 NIV

COVID-19 Information

According to the CDC

Quarantine

Quarantine if you have been in close contact (within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has COVID-19, unless you have been fully vaccinated. People who are fully vaccinated do NOT need to quarantine after contact with someone who had COVID-19 unless they have symptoms. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 5-7 days after their exposure, even if they don’t have symptoms and wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative.

When You Can be Around Others After You Had or Likely Had COVID-19

Most people do not require testing to decide when they can be around others; however, if your  healthcare provider recommends testing, they will let you know when you can resume being around  others based on your test results. 

For Anyone Who Has Been Around a Person with COVID-19

Anyone who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 should quarantine for 14 days after  their last exposure to that person, except if they meet the following conditions: Someone who has been fully vaccinated and shows no symptoms of COVID-19 does not need  to quarantine. However, fully vaccinated close contacts should: 

  • Wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days following exposure or until a negative test result.
  • Get tested 5-7 days after close contact with someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
  • Get tested and isolate immediately if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. 

Someone who tested positive for COVID-19 with a viral test within the previous 90 days and has  subsequently recovered and remains without COVID-19 symptoms does not need to quarantine.  However, close contacts with prior COVID-19 infection in the previous 90 days should: 

  • Wear a mask indoors in public for 14 days after exposure. 
  • Monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and isolate immediately if symptoms develop.
  • Consult with a healthcare professional for testing recommendations if new symptoms develop.
