Giving

When we encounter a relationship with the living God

and recognise all that he has done for us, often one of the first responses is a desire to be generous with all that God has blessed us with – our time, our talents and our treasure.  When we realise that all the good gifts we enjoy ultimately come from God, when we give, we are simply giving back to God that which is his already.

All the work at St. James' is funded directly by the generosity of our congregations.  We receive no external funding.

We encourage all those who consider St. James’ to be their spiritual home to pray about how they can financially support the ministry and mission of the church.  Having prayed about this important issue, we ask people to use the Parish Giving Scheme which is the simplest tax efficient way to make regular planed contributions o support the work here.

You can pick up a Parish Giving Scheme information pack at the back of the church or from the Church Office.

St James' Parish Giving Scheme co-ordinator is Mike Randall.  You can find his contact details on our Meet The Team page. Mike will be happy to answer any queries you may have or help get you set up.

NEW : CONTACTLESS GIVING :  If you would like to give towards the work of the church, you can also make a donation using your contactless bank card at the back of the church.
