 Tithing was taught at early Christian church councils, including the Council of Tours in 567, as well as the Third Council of Mâcon in 585.Tithing remains an important doctrine in many Christian denominations, such as the Congregationalist Churches, Methodist Churches and Seventh-day Adventist Church.Some Christian Churches, such as those in the Methodist tradition, teach the concept of "Storehouse Tithing", which emphasizes that tithes must be prioritized and given to the local church, before offerings can be made to apostolates or charities.
