Our Giving

Why should we give?

Firstly, we are called to honour the Lord in our giving Proverbs 3:9. We are called to share our gifts for the good of God's Kingdom.

Secondly, our beautiful church is a Grade II* listed building and needs to be cared for, repaired and looked after for future generations. It currently costs around £1,900 per week (May 2025) to run the church, including the cost of ministry and oversight, as well as general running costs and maintenance. We get no help from outside – all our income comes from our fund-raising and from the support people like you give us, with a smaller amount of income from the fees from weddings, funerals and other sources.

How should we give?

For those who choose to give at a service in church, a collection is taken during the Offertory hymn and  there is also a table at the back of church where Contactless Card payments can be made. 

You can support any events that we run for fund-raising.

However, as in any business or organisation, what really helps the church is knowing there is a regular income, so thank you to those who regularly give to church either through Standing Orders or through the Parish Giving Scheme.  The PGS is a direct debit system which allows the Gift Aid, if applicable, to be collected easily.  

It would be beneficial to us to recruit even more parishioners who could donate in this way.
