To achieve our aims, the Parish employs ministry and administrative staff, maintains property at three centres and distributes a portion (currently 10%) of offertories to external Christian missions. These costs are met almost entirely through voluntary giving by parishioners.
Regular income to support our ministry is a vital expression of Christian fellowship. We particularly encourage direct debit giving as regular and secure to the benefit of both parish and parishioner. |

It is Parish Council policy to encourage as many parishioners as possible to make their offertory giving by direct debit. This is a helpful way of making sure that their commitment to regular giving is soundly based. And the Parish also stands to benefit from such regular giving by parishioners. There are a few different ways of doing it, in the likely order of convenience both for you and the Parish:
|
|
|
To assist parishioners, the parish makes available a dated set of giving envelopes each year. Use of the envelopes provides a confidential way of giving. It also encourages members to give regularly, and to make up any weeks they might be away. |

|
When making or reviewing the terms of your will, please consider the inclusion of a bequest in favour of the Parish. Bequests are a valuable way of helping future parishioners to maintain and expand the Christian ministry which the Parish has faithfully provided since the middle of the 19th century. |
