Mission Tithes Offering Envelopes for Children

Mission Tithes are given to the church in response to the call: “Many are waiting to hear the gospel, or to be lifted up from hopelessness by the hands of loving servants. But they will be lost without the generous response of disciples who share their own money so that others may know the joys of the kingdom” (Doctrine and Covenants 162:7a adapted).

Contributions to Local and World Mission Tithes provide the money for outreaching ministries in our own congregation, mission center, and around the world. Disciples generally give Mission Tithes during worship services by using offering envelopes. Special children’s envelopes are available from your Congregational Financial Officer (CFO).

Notice the two sides of the envelope: My Church at Home and My Church in the World. Whether children share their money for their own congregation or the church in the world, money given through these envelopes is called Mission Tithes.
