Giving is one of the ways we respond to God’s generosity and support the life and work of our church. The Bible encourages us to give regularly, generously and with thankful hearts, offering both our time and finances as part of our worship.
Your giving helps meet the everyday costs of the church, supports our children’s and youth work, staff, community projects and mission beyond our local area. Regular giving by standing order is especially helpful, and if you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid can increase the value of your donation at no extra cost to you. We are very grateful to everyone who supports the work of the church and the community we serve.
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
Gift Aid
Whichever method you use, if you are a UK taxpayer don’t forget to sign and complete a Gift Aid form. This entitles us to claim the tax back that you have paid on your donation – that’s currently equivalent to 25p in every pound, so your money will go even further
In order for us to be able to claim Gift Aid, you must have paid at least as much in Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax in the same tax year as you want us to claim Gift Aid in, and you must complete a Gift Aid Declaration.
