A church tithe is 10% of your (gross) income (your increase). This is the portion which is due to God. An offering, on the other hand, is an amount over and above the tithe.
Additional Info:
The above is what is typically taught in many churches. However, paying 10 percent of your income to a church is not biblical.
According to The Bible, Christians are not required to pay tithes in any form or fashion. Only ancient Israel was required to pay tithes, and the tithe only consisted agricultural produce - not income.
The Bible encourages voluntary, Spirit-led giving among Christians.
Church of the Tithes was created in 1842.
Church of the Tithes ended in 1240.

In a church context, money is often referred to as "tithes" or "offerings." Tithes typically refer to a specific percentage of a person's income given to the church, while offerings can be any additional contributions made voluntarily. These funds are used to support the church's operations, community outreach, and various ministries.

God will return your tithes a hundredfold. Once you give, he will restore it. :)
Peasants paid a 10% tax, known as tithes, to the church as a form of support for its operations and to fund various religious activities. This practice was rooted in biblical teachings and was seen as a moral obligation to contribute to the community and the church's welfare. Tithes helped maintain the clergy, support charitable initiatives, and sustain the church's influence in society. Additionally, failure to pay tithes could result in social and spiritual consequences for the peasants.
No the money should only be used for the church and gods work.
