How to give
“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 9:7
The easiest way to give is by setting up a standing order or making a direct transfer from your bank. Once your donation is set up, please let us know so we can identify your gift and say thank you! You can also give securely online through ChurchSuite.
If you have any questions or would like more information about how we use our finances, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re happy to chat and be transparent about how your generosity supports our mission.

Regular giving by standing order is the simplest and most cost-effective option, but you can also give online, by cash or by cheque.
