As believers, it is vital that we understand what the Lord says about tithes and offerings. The purpose of tithing is to put God first in our lives. He doesn’t need our money, instead, he wants what our money represents: our priorities, passions, purposes. At IAC we believe financial giving is an act of worship, a demonstration of obedience, and an expression of gratefulness for God’s generosity to us. Indeed, we are not giving God a percentage of our wealth, for God owns it all, and we are merely stewards of it. We are honoring God by returning a portion to Him of what is already His.  It is an act of faith to financially support the church with expectations of how God will use our gifts to build His Kingdom.
