“For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.”
1 Chronicles 29:14
Generosity is also a spiritual gift, and our prayer is for the gift of generosity to grow in our Diocese so that, through God’s grace, we live a more generous, Christ-centred, outward-focused life, including giving financially and sharing God’s love with our neighbours.
“…see that you also excel in this grace of giving.”
2 Corinthians 8:7
The Giving Team is here to support you as you develop both that generous culture and the mechanisms that suit your church’s specific values, tradition and needs. We work to support clergy, PCCs, Treasurers, finance teams and church members to foster generosity in their communities. Through visits, training, talks, PCC retreats, Sunday services, newsletters, and resources, we work in partnership with you to help you resource the mission and ministry of your church.
