Does my Tithe have to go to a Church?  

First and foremost, giving to the church where you receive  spiritual nourishment is important. The second theme behind Tithing is to give generously from what God has given us.

Generally, believers start by giving tithes to their local church, and then give over and above that to anywhere else. There is no specific rule in the Bible regarding this.

When it comes down to percentages on how much is sufficient, consider the following quote from Pastor John Piper, “Let’s be sacrificial in our giving. Let’s be loyal to our local church. And let’s be farseeing in our support for many ministries. I think God will handle the percentages.”
