MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH CHANGING LIVES Whether you bring your tithe as a step of obedience or contribute to a ministry as an act of generosity, your
money will result in more return here (St. Nicholas Cathedral) than any other place in the world—a return
evident in lives changed.
Your contributions will help spread Christ’s message of hope and healing to so many people and
places—around the corner and around the world. From giving a single gift to scheduling an ongoing
contribution or viewing your giving history, you can do it here at your parish.
What We Believe about Giving
The word “tithe”, meaning 10%, comes from the Old Testament. God set down the guidelines for
tithing to cause us to recognize His ownership of everything, on a regular basis, as well as to
teach us, as believers, to put Him first in our lives.
When you give your tithe, you are giving back to God what is already his, what is expected, what is
required. In giving an offering, you are giving a gift to God from a heart of love, over and above the tithe.
The tithe is an act of obedience; the offering is a statement of love.
God has blessed our lives in countless ways. Giving back to him, whether in tithes or in offerings, is a privilege
which should cause believers to overflow with thankfulness for all of His many blessings. What has God
entrusted to you? How are you managing it? God’s own words in Matthew 25:14 -28 tell us that the reason we
may not have much is because God cannot trust us with much! Our Lord blesses wise managers with even
more to manage.
At St. Nicholas Cathedral, we believe that God has entrusted time, talents and treasures to us as believers, and
expects us to manage them in ways that bring honor to Him.
