“Where Does Tithing Go?” Friend, Sept. 2005, 14–15
Where Does Tithing Go?
-
When we earn money, we pay 10 percent to the Lord. This is called tithing.
-
We give our tithing to the bishop or branch president or one of his counselors,
-
who then counts and records it with the help of a ward or branch clerk.
-
Then Church leaders in Salt Lake City, Utah, decide where the tithing is most needed.
-
It may be used to help build a new meetinghouse.
-
It could go toward building a new temple.
-
Or maybe your tithing will help publish materials for missionary work.
-
No matter how your tithing is spent, it helps with the Lord’s work on earth.
