Offerings are not tithes, but voluntary gifts designated to advance the Kingdom, particularly through Missional Initatives. In Basileia, offerings, not tithes, fund missional initiatives and are thus administered by Missional Councils (who also administer the Community Tithe), while all Festival Tithes are administered by Presbyter Councils. Deacon Councils facilitate the equipping of Chapters in the administration of the Vocational Tithe.
