The word "tithe" literally means tenth or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn't merely giving something to God. It's giving back what was his to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from him. The Bible says that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.

"Without question, God is placing incredible opportunities in front of us at SouthCrest! It's remarkable to witness the impact that God is making through SouthCrest as people come to know Christ week after week, and to see so many new people at our LaGrange, Newnan, and Online campuses. Giving an offering to Spaces and Places helps fuel growth for us to expand our ministries through new locations, new experiences, new venues, and new facilities. 

"Beyond the tithe" is anything you give beyond 10%. In Malachi 3:10, God says "Go ahead. I dare you. See if you can out-give me." Beyond the tithe is a chance for you to be extravagantly generous. You can give additional gifts to the general fund, or to a specific project like Missions, Spaces and Places, Beach Camp, and more. So go ahead, test and experience God's generosity!
