I'm of the opinion that it is not biblical, but maybe I should not let it bother me so much. I believe the Bible teaches giving tithes and offerings to the church, and church fundraising gives the impression that we should add-on to God's Word and even be coercive in doing so. Thoughts?

(from the Devised Standard Version) I see not mere tithing taught in the NT but, gifts and offerings.
