The ELCA's own stewardship resource hub, framing individual giving as a voluntary faith response rather than a codified duty, and distinguishing it from Mission Support, the separate mechanism by which congregations share offerings with synods and the churchwide organization.

Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the ELCA's own official stewardship resource hub, read directly. Frames giving as voluntary faith practice ("Sharing God's Abundance"), distinguishes individual member giving from "Mission Support" (the offerings ELCA congregations, not individual members, share with synods and the churchwide organization), and states no specific percentage or tithe requirement for individual members. No single publication date is given on the page itself, an evergreen resource hub; the absence is noted rather than left silent. Citation
