Not throwing stones, just really wondering.
Because I do not know of any.

ALL of the New Testament churches.
Otherwise, did you mean Apostolic church organizations?
Or church organizations in general?
The Church of Christ seems to do fine without tithes.
Grace Community Church in California is a nondenominational church, pastored by John McArthur. They’ve been doing fine for over fifty years to hear them tell it. And he teaches voluntary offerings. And he encourages everyone to be a minister. That’s why it has been referred to as the church of nine hundred ministers.
It seems to work.
However, I’m not personally aware of any apostolic churches that have even tried it. Maybe it won’t work anymore?
If it won’t work, why won’t it ?
We know it worked for about eight hundred years. Right?
