This week we’re going to be talking about churches offering a money-back guarantee on your tithing. A Chicago-area church has recently made an offer to its congregants that if they tithe for one year and they are “not fully satisfied” with the results in their lives, then the church will give them their money back.

STORY – Pastors Offer Money-Back Guarantee If Congregants Tithe for a Year and Nothing Happens

“Willow Creek Community Church Senior Pastor David Dummitt has offered his congregants a money-back guarantee if they tithe 10% of their income for a year and nothing happens. He made the offer Sunday after guest preacher Pastor Robert Morris revealed he’s been offering the same guarantee to his nearly 40,000-member Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, for 22 years without a claim.

“Morris, who preached at Willow Creek on Sunday on ‘The Principle of First’ as part of the suburban Chicago church’s sermon series ‘More Than Money,’ was seeking to help boost falling revenues that the church has been experiencing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to The Roys Report.”

“In the YouTube clip posted by The Roys Report, Dummitt is then shown accepting the challenge.

“‘I’ll just go ahead and say yes. Just like the Lord said, test me in this. I think I’ll go ahead and be bold and say if you do this for the year and you are not fully satisfied, we’ll give the money back. I like that challenge,’ he said.” (The Christian Post)
