The practice checks our greed, promotes personal discipline and thrift, testifies to our faith, promotes God’s work in the world, and alleviates human need. While we do not believe tithing to be a condition for salvation, we do believe it is a very important biblical model, one which should set the minimal standard for Christian giving for people in all income ranges.

I don't completely agree with this position, but I wouldn't have a problem going to a church that took that position. I think the UPC should take a very similar stance.
