Stewardship
Christian stewardship is fundamental to our discipleship, and is about using our God-given resources of time, talent and money responsibly in God’s service.  We give thanks for the many ways in which people offer of themselves to support the work of the church here.

It costs around £3500 every week to operate our church activities, maintain our beautiful buildings, and contribute towards the cost of ministry in less affluent parts of the diocese.  We rely on the generosity of our congregation, visitors and supporters, and receive no funding from the central Church or State.

If you would like to make a one-off donation to our church, please click here.  For details on how to make a regular gift to the church, or to leave a gift in your will, please see the two leaflets below.  

For more information, please contact the Stewardship Secretary, Alison Stretton: [email protected]  Thank you for your gift.
