    Foreword

    The church has historically been reticent to issue official directives as to how members should apply the doctrine of tithing to specific situations. Rather, it has limited itself to quoting those scriptures and Spirit of Prophecy statements which teach the principles of tithing and appeal for wholehearted faithfulness of its members in this aspect of their Christian life.TithPG 4.1

    Church members and workers, however, continually ask questions about tithing. It was to provide a source of counsel and helpful information that the General Conference Officers appointed a committee to prepare the document, “Tithing Principles and Guidelines.” For the same reason, the committee membership included several lay persons and denominational workers of various types.TithPG 4.2

    In this document, the committee presents a summary of its wide-ranging study of how Seventh-day Adventist Christians respond under varying circumstances to God’s tithing requirement. It also presents an excellent compilation of tithing principles, each supported by Bible and Spirit of Prophecy references and quotations, which can be used by individuals in making their own conscientious decisions regarding tithing.TithPG 4.3

    Copies of the “Tithing Principles and Guidelines” document will be made available to denominational organizations and individuals who request them. It is hoped that they will be used, not as a rule of judgment for others, but rather as a source of helpful counsel and information for individual Seventh-day Adventist Christians who seek to be faithful stewards of the means entrusted to them.TithPG 4.4
