There are many ways church members donate, especially their time talents and abilities to help with worship, social activities and outreach to the community, as well as financial donations.
Like all charitable institutions, we rely almost totally on the generosity of our supporters, whether they are church members or members of the wider community who value the work of the church and want to see its work flourish and its buildings maintained.
The Bible says that all things come from God, and in giving we are only giving back to God what belongs to God. It also recommends: ‘Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver’.
The Church of England recommends 5% of post-tax income, but individual circumstances vary and giving is a matter for personal and prayerful consideration, reflecting willingness and ability to give.
One off donations are always most welcome but entering a Planned Giving scheme helps the church to budget effectively, so if you are able, please seriously consider doing this.
