WHERE DO MY TITHE AND OFFERINGS GO?
TITHE
The first 10% of your tithe goes to support the International Ministries of Zion Assembly Church of God. This money is distributed as outlined by the Assembly and goes to support the leaders of the church, missions, international office expenses, etc.
After the 10% is sent to the International Offices, the rest is given to support the pastor up to a limit set by our local church of $3800 per month. If and when the Tithe is larger than $3800 in a given month, this money is kept in the local church to be distributed as the members choose. Most of the time, if there is money in "Surplus Tithe" at the end of the year, a portion of the money is kept in store to make sure the pastor receives his $3800 during future months when the tithes may be lower than $3800 in a given month. Again, IF there is "Surplus Tithe" at the end of the year, a significant amount is transferred to the "Building Fund" with the hope of building a new facility in the future.
