How to Give
We recognise everything we have comes from God. One way to respond to God’s generosity to us is by giving financially. Below are some ways you can give to Christ Church.

Other Giving Options
On a Sunday:
We don't pass around a collection plate during our Sunday services, but there is an opportunity to give in a collection box at the back of church. We are also able to accept donations by debit or credit card.
Charity Giving:
Using either Charity Aid Foundation (CAF number 000279502) or a Stewardship Giving Account (number 08634939).
Payroll Giving
Check with your employer as some companies match the employee’s giving. You will need to use CAF for this facility.
Why Give?
Our giving is primarily a response to the generosity of God, who: "loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
We give because God is a generous giver.
As we consider giving, we recognise that everything we have is a gift from God: "Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand." (1 Chronicles 29:14).
So, our giving is part of our discipleship, part of our worship. It’s about recognising that Jesus is Lord of every part of our lives. It’s from this starting point that we prayerfully consider giving to support the Great Commission that Jesus gives us to make disciples.
Finances
Visitors to the church are under no obligation to give.
