‘Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times; having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.’ 2 Corinthians 9:7-8

The whole range of ministry at Christ Church and Meadowbank with children, 20s and 30s, families, the elderly, our training activities, missionaries and much else besides, is dependent, under God, on the generous giving of church family members. We would be glad of your partnership in this gospel work through prayer and giving of time and money.

For a biblical perspective on giving, please download our Guide to Giving brochure 

 We want to encourage as many members as possible to give electronically, where possible. 

There are three main methods;

  1. Electronic Transfer
  2. Credit Card 
  3. Cash and Envelopes

 All of these are effective for giving to the Church and MTS at Gladesville.

1. Electronic Transfer: This is the best way to give as it means; less money to count, less security risk, more consistent giving and easier budgeting for Parish Council. All you need to do is set up a regular transfer from your account. This can be done at the bank or via the internet.
You can schedule your payments and change them at any time.

Please put "General Giving" and remember to use your congregations account number.

Giving to missions PDF Print E-mail
  
Mission is a partnership.
We share in that partnership by supporting brothers and sisters serving God overseas through faithful prayer and practical and financial support.  

Our Missions giving policy

At Christ Church we do not send a percentage of general giving to mission support. Our policy is to encourage our members to specifically identify how much they intend to give to mission support. We believe this encourages thoughtful and prayerful mission giving and support. It is very important therefore that you consider where and how you are going to direct your missionary giving.

  1. If you have a specific missionary or agency in mind e.g. CMS or Pearsons etc. indicate this and we will forward your gift along with others quarterly.
  2. If you do not have a specific missionary in mind, and want to give to all our missionaries then indicate "Missions" and your gift will be distributed proportionally to all our link missionaries and some other key organisations such as Moore College and Anglicare.

We recognise that many of us also give to mission agencies directly. We would like you to direct giving for our link missionaries through the church so that we can make sure that together we as a church are giving sufficient support. In particular could you please direct your CMS giving through the church. If we all do this we will be able to budget our missions giving and work toward targets for mission giving together.
