90-Day Tithe Challenge
Join us on a journey to trust God with our finances and practice radical generosity!
As a community, we want to live generously. Our primary goal for this challenge is for every single person at Echo to give back the first and best to God!
Tithing is a biblical principle. God calls us to give the first 10% of our income back to Him. We’ve seen God provide abundantly in so many people’s lives through our obedience in tithing. We know He will provide abundantly for you and your family when you put Him first in your finances. In fact, it’s the one area in the Bible where God tells you to test Him.
As we walk with you through this journey — to resource, encourage, equip, and enable you to step toward a life of radical generosity. Explore the resources below to learn more about generous living.
