Giving Page

Our church is a charity. That means the only income we get is what individuals choose to give. If they pay tax, we can also reclaim gift aid on this giving.

So the work of our foodbank, Renew 127 emotional wellbeing centre, the pastoral care we provide, the weddings, funerals, children's work and everything else we do in the community is only possible because of what people give!

What do Christians believe about giving?

As Christians, we believe that giving is a really important part of our worship - literally a sacrifice we make for God.

In the Old Testament God told people to give a 'tithe' (that means a tenth or 10%) of what they received back to God.

In the New Testament, we take the principle of giving from 2 Corinthians 9:7...

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.

So we don't tell anyone what amount to give, but suggest that those who are part of the church decide on an amount and give it with joy!

But if there's any sense of reluctance or pressure, we'd rather people just didn't give.
