Tithes & Offerings.
Online giving is safe, secure, easy, and generous.




You can't outgive God.

Our mission and vision is directly funded by the faith and generosity of people like you. When we trust Him with our Tithes and Offerings, we know He will bless the rest (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12). Christians should be the most generous people on earth! There is no organization with more potential to change the world than the local church.



“Bring the whole Tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this...and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

Malachi 3:10



What is Tithing?

A Tithe — which just means “tenth” — is when the first 10% of a Christian's income is to be returned to God as worship through the local church. Tithing is a principle that predates the law, and is taught throughout the entire Bible. When we Tithe, we are expressing worship in a tangible way by putting God first in our lives.

Tools to track Your Spending

When we track our spending, we start to get a good understanding of where our money is going. This Spending Tracker tool will help you to use this principle to move in the right direction on your financial journey. You can see an example of the Spending Tracker Worksheet below.

Organize Your Spending/Money

Once we have tracked where our money is going, we can organize where and when we spend it. The Spending Organizer tool helps you organize your spending into five categories: NEED, WANT, DEBT, SAVINGS, and GENEROSITY. You will place each line item, such as groceries, mortgages, subscriptions, and giving, into the appropriate category.

Give | Save | Live Worksheet

At New Chapel, we believe in a financial model called Give, Save, & Live. When we look at our finances, we want to Give our first 10% back to God through the Tithe, Save the next 5%, and Live off 85% of our income. Once we have tracked and organized our spending, the Give | Save | Live tool will help you achieve your Give, Save, & Live goal.

NOTE: You can deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income for charitable contributions if you itemize your taxes. All gifts need to be mailed or otherwise delivered by December 31 to qualify for tax-deductibility for this year. Contributions that exceed the max amounts can carry over to the next tax year.


Eliminate Debt

The Debt-Elimination Snowball tool is a debt reduction strategy that helps you pay off your debts from smallest to largest. As you knock out your debts one by one, the amount of money you have to throw at the rest of your debt grows—kind of like a snowball rolling down a hill (hence the name). And the excitement you get from paying off your smallest debt super quick will motivate you to keep plowing through your debt, all the way to that debt-free finish line!

Budgeting Tools

The Quick-Start Budget tool is a helpful starting point for your budgeting journey. It will show you how much money you need to cover your necessities every month. You can view sample budgets to help you get started. Your budget goal should be a zero-balance budget—meaning you take your total income and subtract your total expenses.

"Can I give things other than money?"

In short: Yes.

We've worked with many people who desire to give other than cash-money. If you feel led in this way, consider some of these creative giving ideas:

• Stocks & Bonds
• Commodities like Gold & Silver

• Mutual Funds

• Annuities

• Distributions from an IRA or Mutual Funds

• Cryptocurrency


• Non-Cash Assets (Land, Homes, Cars, Jewelry, Coin Collections, and the like)

There are often tax advantages to the donor when giving non-cash assets. For example: It is possible to reduce or eliminate tax liability on the appreciation of stocks by donating via a stock transfer. 

Please check with your tax advisor on these matters, and if you have any questions about using non-cash assets to fund your commitment, please reach out connect@newchapel.com.


Enjoy Tax Savings

Federal and state tax laws  make it possible to reduce or eliminate taxes on funds you give for charitable purposes.
