church tithe
Tenth for God
A church tithe is a contribution of one-tenth of a person's income to their religious congregation, rooted in biblical instruction.
While historically mandatory in many Christian traditions, modern tithing is typically voluntary, though some churches still teach it as an obligation: They give their church tithe before paying other bills.
The practice supports clergy salaries, building maintenance, and charitable work.
