What financial responsibilities are described for COGIC members?

COGIC members contribute through a tiered giving system that supports the whole church structure: tithes, offerings, and assessments at local, jurisdictional, and national levels. Tithing—typically a tenth of increase—shows ongoing commitment to the local church, while offerings provide for special needs and programs beyond the regular tithes. In addition, jurisdictional and national assessments fund governance, ministries, and missions across the broader church body. This multi-level stewardship distinguishes church responsibilities from general civic duties like taxes, which are separate. So the described practice—tithes and offerings plus jurisdictional and national assessments—best reflects what members are described as responsible for.
