Give

God has richly blessed us with his love, grace and generosity.

Giving is our response to this. It is a joyful act of worship and trust, and a way of investing in God's work. 

Your regular giving enables St Stephen's to continue its mission of helping people to love God, grow disciples and transform communities.

We encourage you to consider prayerfully, courageously and generously how God may be calling you to give.

Legacies

  • Leaving a gift to St Stephen's in your Will is a generous and tax-efficient way to support the church's ministry for future generations. Your legacy will help ensure that St Stephen's remains a place where people encounter the love and grace of Jesus, hear the good news of the Gospel, and are equipped and sent out to serve God's church and the wider world. 

    Because needs and priorities change over time, we encourage you to leave any gift for the general purposes of St Stephen's rather than for a specific restricted use. 

    If you are considering leaving property to the church and would like it to be used to enable a church family to live within the parish at an affordable cost, please speak with Libby, the Vicar. 

    Whatever the size of your gift, you can be confident that it will make a lasting difference to the future mission and ministry of St Stephen's.

    • Registered charity number: 1131378 

    • Details of the gift you wish to leave

The mission and ministry of St Stephen's, along with some clergy and all  staff costs and the upkeep of our buildings, are funded primarily through the generous giving of church members. 

Additional income is generated through the hire of our buildings by local organisations and community groups. 

Each year, we give 15-20% of our income to mission partners in the UK and overseas. 

Our annual budget, financial report and audited accounts are published each year. The PCC oversees the governance, stewardship and scrutiny of the church's finances throughout the year.
