CCU's Commitment to Tithing:

Christ  Church Unity is committed to tithing 10% of all  receipts to those places where our ministry has been spiritually fed. This may include individuals, organizations, churches or groups.  Monthly, the board and Senior Minister prayerfully discern where the tithe should be given.  Some examples of where CCU tithes are below:

• Assocation of Unity Churches
• Silent Unity
• Coalition for the Homeless
• Rickie Byars - Beckwith
• Speakers who have blessed our community - e.g. Rev. Edwene Gaines

Common Questions about Tithing

What Is a Tithe?
The word tithe means a tenth.  To tithe is to return 10% of all we receive to a person, place or institution from which we have received spiritual food.  

What Is Spiritual Food?
Spiritual food is that which inspires us, teaches us, reminds us of the Truth and causes us to remember who we really are.  

Why Tithe?

• Tithing establishes order in our life and the life of our ministry. God first!
• Tithing is a sure way to prosper.
• Tithing enables us to bless others through the work of God.
• We tithe, not primarily because we are supposed to, but because we joyfully want to. We tithe because we have discovered that it is a great and creative adventure, and because its rewards are surprising, enriching, increasing, and unending

What About Tithing to Charity?
When discussing tithing, we are often asked about giving to charity. However, we do not give to charity in place of a tithe. We tithe to where we are spiritually fed, giving to God first, and then we give over and above our 10% tithe.  A tithe is an act of worship.  CCU gives hundreds of dollars a month to those in our church community and the greater Orlando community, who are in need.
