Been there - done that. We went to a church bent on becoming a mega church. Everything was a big production. Collecting Gawd’s tithe was commanded from the pulpit on every possible occasion, Sunday, Wed. night Bible study, Christmas, Easter, etc. Big guilt tripping. We left. The church we attend now is much smaller, collects no offerings, and teaches from the Bible only.
If they don’t take tithes, how do they pay the minister?
Do they meet in someone’s home?
That's the first time in my life that I ever heard of a church that collects no offerings. That jumped right out at me, and, frankly, was was quite shocking to read.
If you don't mind my asking, is that church part of a larger denomination, or is it a one-of-a-kind, non-denominational church, or what?
