QUESTION: Do I Have to Give an Offering (money) at Church?
Nope.
Christians give money at church as a way of “giving back” to God for all that he’s given us. It’s a way of demonstrating our trust that God can care for our needs. We actually worry about making visitors feel uncomfortable around this time. For that reason, we don’t “pass a plate” we just have a box in the back where members and regular attenders are able to put their tithes (fancy Bible name for money that we give back to God).
