GIVING
We don't tend to talk very much about money as a church.
Discussing money can be off-putting for visitors, and we never want people to feel under pressure. However, giving is an important part of discipleship, and we do believe in being a generous church, giving cheerfully to the needs around us. Simply put, giving is part of our community life together. What we do is possible because of you!
We take a special monthly offering in our services on the second Sunday of each month for one or more of our global or local partners.
How To Give
Online by card or direct debit
The easiest way to give is by making an Online Donation. You can set up a regular gift or a one-off donation.
You can also choose what you’d like your gift to go towards…

Cheques and cash
Gifts can be placed in the box at the back of our Sunday morning venues or posted to the church office. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Woodlands Group of Churches’.

What happens to the money?
At Woodlands Group of Churches, good stewardship of people’s giving is a high priority. The Trustees regularly monitor the financial position of the church and the financial systems in place and operate to agreed annual budgets.
As a registered charity (number 1125029), we take seriously the need to comply with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements, including obtaining an annual independent audit of our accounts.
If you have any questions about giving please contact the Finance Team.
