All members and ministers of the Church of God shall pay tithes in the church where they are ____.

• A. Ministers
• B. Residents
• C. Members
• D. Attendees

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is that tithing is tied to your belonging to a specific local church. All who are part of the church—both members and ministers—are expected to give their tithe in the church where they hold membership. This anchors giving to the community you’re officially connected with, ensuring the funds stay with the body you participate in and support.

The word that completes the sentence is the status that creates that connection: members. Being a member establishes the church as the rightful recipient of your tithe, and ministers are included because they are part of the church through membership. Terms like residents or attendees don’t establish that formal affiliation, so they wouldn’t fit the intent of directing the tithe to the church where one is part of the body.
