I think that would be interesting, but IMO the tithing issue isn't an important enough issue to form a fellowship. I would be more interested in an apostolic org with soteriology along the lines you and I affirm that didn't teach tithing. I was in an Apostolic church that didn't believe tithing for a couple of years but it was more legalistic than any UPC church I ever attended.
