“Where your heart is, so is your treasure.”
When we commit to a life of Christian Stewardship, we commit to norms different than those of society in general.
At Prince of Peace, we recommend returning 10% of our treasure to the Lord through the works of our parish, our diocese, and the greater community. We suggest allotting half of this tithe to the parish and half to the works of the diocese and other good causes. The table below shows how these guidelines apply to different levels of income.
| Annual Income | Weekly Offering | Diocesan Offering | Other Charity Contribution |
| $15,600 | 15.00 | 3.00 | 12.00 |
| 26,000 | 25.00 | 5.00 | 20.00 |
| 36,400 | 35.00 | 7.00 | 28.00 |
| 40,000 | 38.00 | 7.60 | 30.40 |
| 60,000 | 58.00 | 11.60 | 46.40 |
| 100,000 | 96.00 | 19.20 | 76.80 |
| 150,000 | 144.00 | 28.80 | 115.20 |
