May the End of Year Contribution Letter Contain the word "Tithe"?

by Elvie
(USA)

There is a visitor in the church that will not accept our Contribution Letter for the reason that it ONly contains the words Gifts/Contributions. They want their Letter to Contain the giving of their "tithes". Would their be a problem for the church if the Contribution Letter is re-worded like that?

 Tithe?
by: Lewis in NC

Is your visitor actually tithing to your church in a formal and consistent way? The word "Tithe" would not be where a problem is here, but to allow a visitor to set policy for the church would be a huge problem as I see it. Be careful with this one.

There are suggestions to what to include on a church contribution statement given at this website, so search for that, or just "google" it.

 Tithes and offerings
by: MarcusNTexas

I suppose it would be okay to substitute the terms "tithes and/or offerings" for the terms "gifts / contributions". Seems like doing that would be an easy way to handle the individual's request. If that were done at our church I would not experience any heartburn.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
