As a pastor, you get to know your congregation and their incomes. I had a church with an old lady that only drew social security. She gave a 10% tithe every Sunday, while another family with two incomes totaling over four times the old lady’s, managed to give about 2%. Still another family, owners of a mobile home park, gave about $20 every two weeks, which was way lower than a tithe of their $4000 monthly take.
