Thank you for investing in your neighbours, our community ministries, and those who don’t know Jesus. Your gift is priceless.

When we give, in time, talents and the fruits of our labour, we’re investing in something bigger than now, and better than ourselves. Matthew 6, Jesus says that by honouring him with our labour, we’re investing in the Kingdom, one that lasts!

Where does our giving go?  What does St Christopher’s use it for? 
All funds go to one thing – the worship of God, and the love of our neighbours. Yes, your gift may pay an electric bill, rates, or for maintenance. It may pay a staff salary.  It also goes to fund ministry to students, our local schools  young adults, children and families, or our precious elderly. It may be used for teaching, worship, or leader development.  It goes to helping people in need right in our own neighbourhoods.  It helps us communicate in this social media age.  It helps us develop the next generation and communicate the hope of Jesus to those who don’t know Him.  It may look like ESOL language courses, or Mainly Music.  It may be Adventure Retreats for young adults with Scripture Union, or outreach to students, or parenting seminars, all avenues that allow us to love our community, and offer them the joy we’ve found.

A small portion goes to our diocese, to help support the ministries we do together, like Chaplaincies, and support for people in need. We also support our mission partners in Cambodia, associated with the Church Missionary Society (CMS), and a number of other ministry initiatives, here and overseas. We always welcome requests for further information.

We ask everyone to join with us in loving our community, and giving what we can to see our neighbourhoods flourish, and come to know God. That is an eternal reward: and it’s available to everyone!
