Gateacre Team Ministry
St Stephen's and St Mark's Churches - working together to share the love of Jesus
Giving
Churches need money to pay the bills that keep our doors open, and resource the activities of the church that people value. Without money, our ministry and mission is diminished and hindered. It’s that simple.
The bible teaches that we’re to be wise stewards of all we have. Those 2000 bible verses on wealth and possessions, including some tough teaching from Jesus, pack a powerful punch. The joyful giving of the tithe (Deut. 14:22-29), Paul’s challenge to ‘excel in the grace of giving’ (2 Cor. 8:7) and the women who supported Jesus’ ministry (Luke 8:1-2) teach us that joyful, generous giving is the hallmark of our discipleship around money and the gift that resources the ministry and mission of our church.
Please consider giving to your local church using the Parish Giving Scheme. It makes giving simple and enables your gift to reach the church and its mission quickly and easily. To give please click on one of the buttons.
After you've looked after your loved ones in your legacy, you may wish to leave your local church a gift to make sure it continues to exist, allowing your family to celebrate their life events likes baptisms, weddings or funerals here in L25. If so, you may wish to name St Marks, St Stephens or The Gateacre Team Ministry which covers both.
