Church Tithe
At its 2007 session, the Rocky Mountain Conference adopted a
"Church Tithe" method of sharing resources for the good
of the world and the Conference.
Reports of the Church Tithe

The Conference Treasurer’s Office reports June Tithing income of
$364,886 based on May receipts in local churches. A detailed Tithing
report, by church, is available for your information on the RMCUMC.org
web site,
under Resources, Finances (http://rmcumc.org/CR/Finance/index.htm#tithe).
The graph reflects Conference-wide church giving comparisons to
last year 2007. Total
year-to-date giving is $388,598 less than last year through June.
