====Baptist churches==== The [[Southern Baptist Convention]] resolved in 2013 to "exhort all Southern Baptists to tithe cheerfully and give sacrificially as good stewards of Godβs blessings to their local churches."<ref>{{Cite web |title=On Tithing, Stewardship, And The Cooperative Program |url=https://www.sbc.net/resource-library/resolutions/on-tithing-stewardship-and-the-cooperative-program/ |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=www.sbc.net/ |language=en-US}}</ref> Article XIII the [[Baptist Faith and Message]] recognizes a Christian obligation to contribute without specifically mention a tithe.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Baptist Faith and Message |url=https://bfm.sbc.net/bfm2000/#xiii |website=Sbc.net |at=XIII. Stewardship}}</ref> Other Southern Baptists do not observe a tithe, only an offering. Representing [[Southern Baptist Theological Seminary|Southern Seminary]], Professor Tom Schreiner states, "Is a tithe required? ... I would say no, because a tithe is part of the Mosaic covenant."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schreiner |first=Thomas R. |date=2017-09-06 |title=Is tithing required today? |url=https://equip.sbts.edu/video/tithing-required-today/ |access-date=2024-03-09 |website=Southern Equip |language=en-US}}</ref> The [[National Baptist Convention of America, Inc.|National Baptist Convention of America]] teaches that "Baptists believe that a proper sense of stewardship begins with the 'tithe'; a presentation of which belongs to Him. 'The tithe is the Lord's.' We have not given as a result of presenting the tithe. Our giving begins with the offering {after we have tithed}."<ref name="SmithEmerson2008" /> The Treatise of the [[National Association of Free Will Baptists]], Chapter XVI, specifically states that both the Old and New Testaments "teach tithing as God's financial plan for the support of His work."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nafwb.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2016-FWB-Treatise.pdf |title=A TREATISE of the Faith and Practices of the National Association of Free Will Baptists, Inc.|website=Nafwb.org|access-date=29 June 2022}}</ref>
