Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Good grief. So do pastors pay dues and tithes?

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
In MOST districts of the UPCI, ALL licensed ministers pay all or a percentage of their "ministerial tithe" (tithe off of ministry income)to the district. Tithe from personal income (i.e. a job, business, etc) is paid to their local assembly or wherever they feel to pay it. I think it would be safe to say that most districts have a "minimum" such as 50% of you ministerial tithe or $50 which ever is more. I do know of at least one district that has a flat district "dues" rather than a tithing structure.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
So they pay to preach and get paid to preach?

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Ohio district charged our pastor $3oo a month when we were with them. You couldn't get them to call you unless they didn't get their cut.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
I'm feel so hurt that other "Apostolics" would talk about this in a public forum on the Internet. My church needs your prayers; not your criticisms of a man I love very much even though he made a bad mistake.
