Stewardship & Planned Giving

We read in the Bible of people giving to the work of the church and that is something which we as a church community seek to take seriously. With running costs of well over £53k per year, keeping this church running is an exciting challenge! This money is provided primarily by those who come, we have no help with this nationally.

It is possible to give regularly to the work of this church. Regular planned giving helps us to see how we can make the best use of the resources available to us. We encourage tax-payers to ‘gift aid’ their contribution as at no cost to the giver the church can claim back money from the government. In 2004/5 that allowed us to claim an additional £9k at no expense to those who gave. If you are new to the Church community and would like to know more information please speak to the Treasurer or the Stewardship Officer.

‘Giving & Mission’

We give 10% of our income away to seven mission focused organisations. We are supporting the work of the following organisations financially and prayerfully: Chichester Diocesan Family Support Work; Encounter; The Children’s Society; Church Mission Society; Mission Aviation Fellowship; The Salvation Army’s social and rescue work and The United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.
