====Reformed churches==== The [[Book of Order]] of the [[Presbyterian Church (USA)]] states, with respect to the obligation to tithe:<ref name="PMA1997"/> {{blockquote|"Giving has always been a mark of Christian commitment and discipleship. The ways in which a believer uses God's gifts of material goods, personal abilities, and time should reflect a faithful response to God's self-giving in Jesus Christ and Christ's call to minister to and share with others in the world. Tithing is a primary expression of the Christian discipline of stewardship".<ref name="PMA1997">{{cite web |url=https://www.presbyterianmission.org/what-we-believe/stewardship/ |title=Presbyterian Mission Agency Stewardship |year=1997 |publisher=Presbyterian Mission Agency |language=en |access-date=20 April 2018}}</ref>}} The [[United Church of Christ]], a denomination in the [[Congregationalist]] tradition, teaches that:<ref name="SmithEmerson2008"/> {{blockquote|When we tithe we place God as our first priority. We trust in God's abundance instead of worrying about not having enough. Tithing churches live out a vision of abundance rather than a mentality of scarcity.<ref name="SmithEmerson2008"/>}}
