Church Finances
No one knows what your church needs better than your PCC. Donations made to your church pays for all it does for you and your community. In order to maximise income, it is important to make sure you are registered for Gift Aid Lite, run regular stewardship campaigns, and access grants.
See the 30-second financial health check for help.
Your giving does make a difference. Your giving means that together churches in this diocese perform a large amount of ministry every year. Just look at how much service and mission we give to the region:
- 33,000 people worship in our churches every week (51,400 at Christmas)
- We take over 5000 baptisms, 2500 weddings and 6000 funerals a year
- We are involved with the education of over 52,000 children
- We have over 300 paid clergy and a further 400 people taking services
- We have over 340 places of worship and 400 houses to maintain
- We run nearly 200 church schools
So give thanks and please pray that together we can meet the challenges ahead.
