Regularly giving financial support is one way to practice biblical stewardship in the local church. In this way we acknowledge that God is the creator and owner of everything, and that we are entrusted as stewards with a portion of those resources. Many church members and attenders at Edgewater participate in this through the spiritual discipline of ‘tithing.’ Tithing is a principle from the Bible where a person sets aside the first portion (typically 10%) of their income as a gift to God. This practice of giving is done with an attitude of thanksgiving and generosity as an act of worship and faith.
