GIVING

Thank you for using the Grosvenor Church Online giving option

Your generosity enables us to help more and more people experience a life-changing relationship with Him. We are truly grateful for your donation and hope the convenience and simplicity of online giving will be helpful to you.

Join us in our mission of telling others the hope we have in God.

The Bible teaches us that we worship the Lord with our giving, which is setting aside a sum of money in keeping with our income contributed to the church on a regular basis. When we feel called to give over and above our regular giving, we do so as an offering.

Regular giving is crucial for us as it enables us to plan impactful, long-term projects and reach as many people as possible with the love of Jesus. Right now, you can give regularly by setting up a direct debit with your bank (Give monthly) or card payment below (Give now)

Thank you so much

See how our giving makes a difference!

  • Within Grosvenor Barnstaple there is a strong culture of faithful people giving generously. We believe that giving is part of our worship.Primarily it involves giving ourselves to God. The Bible also encourages us to give our time and invest our talents as part of the local church body, but it regularly refers to giving financially as a tangible expression of our giving.

  • Paul writing to the Christians in Corinth recommends that ‘On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with their income…’ 1 Cor 16:2.

    This can be through the offering on a Sunday or by setting up a Standing Order with our bank or through online card giving.

    There are other opportunities to give offerings as well.

  • As a church family, we encourage regular attenders to give generously according to their circumstances. For some, this will be more than others, but the Bible’s default guidance is 10% of our income.

    Tithing is our foundation for giving. The Bible teaches us that it is the baseline standard for giving. When we give the first 10% of our income to the church, this is an expression of putting God first in our lives. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude to God, our faith, and our love for others.

    Offerings are free-will offerings above and beyond the tithe.

  • We are grateful for each gift no matter what the amount or how the gift is made, however if you’re part of Grosvenor, and in a position to give financially, we would love for you to consider setting up a regular, monthly gift.

    Regular giving is crucial for us as it enables us to plan impactful, long-term projects and reach as many people as possible with the love of Jesus. Right now, you can give regularly by setting up a standing order with your bank (details below) or set up a recurring card gift below.

  • Everything we do together as a church is only possible because of your giving. With your support, we can run our Sunday services, offer practical help to people through our Neighbourhood Action, evangelism through Alpha, friendship and disciple-making through our Small Groups, and we can run ministries across all our sites including programmes for Youth, Children and Families.

  • Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on donations – by the donor – from HMRC. If you are a UK taxpayer, and have paid or will pay sufficient income or capital gains tax, Gift Aid increases the value of your donations by 25%, so it means that your gift goes even further – and won’t cost you extra. To complete a Gift Aid declaration, use the form above. Around 1/10th of our budget each year is funded through Gift Aid.

    Please note that Gift Aid declarations are valid for six years once you fill one in. If you give regularly and you’ve stopped paying tax, or you don’t want us to claim Gift Aid on a particular gift you’ve made because you haven’t paid tax on it, please let us know.

  • Yes. Some of our congregation members like to leave a gift in their will for Grosvenor, which has helped us to fund many exciting projects over the years.

    Many people find they can do their will online in only 30 minutes. Try the online will-writing service here.

    Already have a will?

    If you already have a will and would like to include Grosvenor, all you have to do is contact your will provider with our formal name, address and charity number (see below):

    Address:

    Grosvenor Church

    Additionally, if you are leaving a gift in your will to Grosvenor and would like to speak to someone about it, please contact trustees@grosvenorchurch.org.uk.

  • Many employers offer payroll giving or ‘give as you earn’ which allows you to give directly to Grosvneor from your salary before tax is deducted. This means if you give £100 per month and are a basic rate taxpayer, the gift will only cost you £80 from your net pay. If you pay a higher rate of tax, £100 a month will only cost you £60 from your net pay. To find out if your employer offers Payroll Giving, contact your HR office.

    Please note: if you use payroll giving, your gifts will not be eligible for gift aid, as you will not have paid tax on the amount.

  • You may wish to give to Grosvenor via a charitable aid agency such as Stewardship. These agencies are useful for those who give to multiple charities and wish to have their giving recorded in one place or for those who wish to give anonymously to Grosvenor.

  • Many employers offer matched giving schemes. In most cases, the company will match your donation up to a specific amount; a handful of organisations will even double your gift.

    If your employer is not listed, please contact the Human Resources or Social Responsibility Office at your workplace to find out if they operate a matched giving scheme. Some employers may not match giving for religious purposes, though most will match gifts to our social transformation ministries such as those supported by Grosvenor. If you require advice on how to use matched giving, or need help allocating your giving for match-giving purposes, please contact finance@grosvenorchurch.org.uk

  • Grosvenor takes precautions in our fundraising to ensure we protect our congregation, including people in vulnerable circumstances, from intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches. Our team take seriously any expression of dissatisfaction we receive regarding our fundraising practices and aim to resolve any complaints as quickly as possible.

    Should you have concerns about a friend or family member in our congregation donating to Grosvenor because of a physical or mental medical conditions (permanent or temporary), disability, learning difficulties, they are in a time of stress or anxiety (e.g. recent bereavement, redundancy), financial vulnerability (making a gift could leave them in financial hardship), English is not their first language, or you are concerned they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs: please contact our Grosvenor Safeguarding Advisor, Paula Clarke, to speak about your concerns.
