tithe challenge

What is the 90 Day Tithe Challenge?

The challenge is simply this: We are inviting you to step out in faith and tithe on your income for 90 days.

Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

Proverbs 3:9-10 (ESV)

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

Malachi 3:10

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fully trust God with your finances? We invite you to take this exciting journey with us. The 90-Day Tithe Challenge is an opportunity to experience God's faithfulness in a powerful way by committing to tithe 10% of your income for the next three months.

Why take this step? Tithing isn't just about giving; it's about responding to God and living the intentional life He calls us to. It's a tangible way to show that we believe He is our provider and that we are stewards of His resources. Throughout this challenge, you will not only witness God's provision but also deepen your relationship with Him as you step out in faith.

Join us and discover what happens when we place God first in our finances. Together, let's see how He will work in your life, your family, and our community as we trust Him fully. Are you ready to respond to God and live an intentional life? Let's embark on this journey of faith together!

This challenge is primarily for those who are NOT currently tithing. The Bible teaches that the word tithe means “ten percent.” God asks us to give him the first tithe of our provision and live on the rest. Perhaps you are a person who gives, but you only give one percent or maybe two. Maybe you don’t even know what you give because it’s not an intentional step of obedience, and when you do give, it’s from what is left over and what feels “safe.” Would you please consider praying about increasing your giving to be intentional?

If you are currently tithing, would you seek the Lord to see how He might want to stretch your trust in Him. Might He want to stretch you with how you commit your time or the best use of your gifts and talents? Maybe it is through "above and beyond" giving to the missions or building fund of the church, a missionary or church plant, or another Kingdom-minded organization?

To put it simply, the goal is for every member of First Baptist Church... and every believer in Jesus Christ who calls this fellowship their home even if they are not yet a member... to be a faithful steward of the resources that God has given to them, which is an expression of worship of the Risen King. We believe this begins foundationally with the obedience of tithing to the local church. We also believe that faithfully stewarding such resources entrusted to us is not limited to tithing alone.

We understand that many find themselves in different stages on the giving spectrum. Those in these stages might say...

  1. Nothing - "I probably should, but I never have before."
  2. Interested - "I currently am not giving for a variety of reasons, but I want to learn how."
  3. Inspired - "I am generous when I feel moved or see a compelling opportunity that needs my help."
  4. Faithful - "I am generous to giving God back my tithe, the first 10% of all my income, trusting Him to use it to advance His Kingdom and provide for my needs."
  5. Fearless - "I am generous beyond 10% of my income because I see God at work around me and I know I cannot out-give Him."

For those in stages 1-3, your first step is to take the 90 Day Tithe Challenge. For those in stages 4-5, consider giving to our Now to Next fund, Acts 1:8 fund, NextGen scholarships, another like-minded, community organization, or even an overseas missionary or church planter. Some of those funding options can be found here.
