Can volunteer services provided to the Church be counted towards the 10% tithing requirement, or is it strictly monetary?

• If volunteer time went at $1 an hour, the church would owe me money. I'm poor. heh

• There are many other churches that don't require tithes, and welcome volunteers with open arms. Maybe you need to shop around for a better fit.

• That has nothing to do with the question asked or the answer given. for that matter, the Mormon church also welcomes volunteers with open arms. That's the foundation of a lay ministry.

• Which is why I put it in comments instead of answers. I was raised Mormon and I know they do welcome volunteer work, but it doesn't count for anything.

• It does for the person who receives the service.

• That is not true. Tithing in time has been done also.

• Completely misses the point of tithing.

• I think the LDS Church is as much about Jesus as any other Church. However, this answer doesn't miss the point, and he's not wrong. Fact is, it has to be monetary. Why that is is open to interpretation, and most here don't seem to like Alatea's interpretation.
