Why Christians give

Christians give because we recognise the wisdom and truth of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19-21.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”.

If our heart is in all that we are promised in Christ then we will want to support work which counts for eternity.

The ministry of Christ Church is entirely funded by the generous giving of Christians within our church family. People give in lots of different ways, with their time and love as well as with their money. However if you would like to give financially, either regularly or as a one-off gift, just follow the instructions below. Every gift is an encouragement to the ministry of our church family.
