Teaching Tithing to Students

Sam Rainer

LifeWay Research reports that 64% of young adults who continue attending church between the ages of 18-22 consistently give financially to their church. Church leaders and researches have discussed at length the declining spiritual health of the younger generation. But it is clear that those students who stay and grow spiritually in the church end up supporting their church financially. What do you think? Should we teach tithing to students? Or should we allow them to get more connected with the church first? How early should we start teaching children and students about tithing?
