Revisiting the Tithe & Offering | The State of Generosity Series [Digital Report]

Revisiting The Tithe & Offering

Vol. 2 in the State of Generosity Series

Barna, Gloo and a collective of partners have come together to study the who, what, why and how of today’s giving landscape. 

In Revisiting The Tithe & Offering, the second volume of our State of Generosity Series, we teamed up with Generis to uncover: 

• An updated overview of the giving habits of Christians
• The Church’s current perceptions of the tithe 
• Which donation options congregations offer
• Opportunities and limitations of modern church giving

Sometimes tithes and offerings can become awkward matters—difficult for church leaders to address, confusing for new Christians and uncomfortable for congregants who don’t feel they have much to offer or for church members who aren’t actively giving.

In this report, we sought to answer important questions, such as:

What does it mean to give, collect, teach about or share in the tithe and offering today?

And how is this practice of faith-filled generosity being established by churches and experienced by churchgoers? 

We also examined the thoughts and experiences of pastors who are trying to build healthy cultures of generosity in their churches.

We hope this report will empower you with information and inspiration that stays with you as you preach, teach, strategize, budget and give.
