The question

What does the Orthodox Church teach about tithing?

The answer

The Church teaches that your tithes, which is 10% of your earnings, should go to the church that you attend and is serving you. Having done that, you may make additional donations to other charities.
 
"'Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,' Says the Lord of hosts, 'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.'" (Malachi 3:10).
