Tithing is the act of giving 10% of one's income to a church. Kellogg says there was no mention of tithing in her job posting when she applied and she didn't learn of the company-wide policy at Churchome until a video conference call in April 2020 with then lead pastor Judah Smith.The filing claims Smith also quote Bible scripture, implying employees should sell their "posessions and belongings" rather than not tithe to Churchome.
"I know probably 2 or 3 people that have been fired for not tithing and I know several people on staff who have been talked to for not tithing in a similar way that I have," said Kellogg., who says more people have come forward.
