What is Stewardship?

Christian Stewardship is about how we, the church members, provide the resources of time, money and skills to ensure that we continure to be a growing and flourishing church.

The reason that we run a Stewardship Campaign is that we need to review how much and how we all give to the Church.

How much should I give?

There is no easy formula and the amount given has to be according to each individual’s ability.

General Synod asks us to adopt 5% of our take home pay as a starting point. Many Christians follow the biblical example of tithing 10%.

Bible references to giving:

o2 Corinthinans Chapter 8, Verse 7

o2 Corinthinans Chapter 9, Verse 7

It is important to think carefully about all we receive from God and consider our priorities.

Any decision should be made in a generous and positive spirit based on prayer and thanksgiving to a generous God.

Perhaps we should ask ourselves, “How can my giving reflect something of God’s love for me?”

How do I start?

Once you have decided what you want to give and how much, please complete the "Gift Aid declaration form" and/or the "Offer of Time and Skills form" and give them to Derek Baulch. If you have completed the Gift Aid declaration form, Derek can supply you with either a yearly book of envelopes or a form to instruct your bank to set up a standing order.

Gift Aid

Signing a Gift Aid declaration, if you are a UK taxpayer will allow any charity and the Church to clain Income Tax from Revenue and Customs. For example, every £10 donated to the Church can claim an additional £2.80 through Gift Aid, so it is well worth doing.
