Giving
Your guide to giving to the work of God through Gerston Chapel Church.
The church family and friends of Gerston Chapel contribute to the life and work of the church in many ways. Giving is not merely financial, but is a response of love for the Lord for all He has done for us that willingly gives all of ourselves back to Him. This can be through volunteering, leading ministries, lovingly caring for others, prayer and much more. But it is also financial.
In God’s law He directed His people to give the first fruits of their harvest to Him before anything else (Ex 22:29, 23:19, Lev 23:9-14) and to give the tithe of the harvest. Giving from what we have been given is an act of worship to our generous God (Prov 3:9). And so we follow the practice of God’s instructions to the Corinthian church:
On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.
The amount you give and how you give is between you and the Lord (2 Cor 9:7) – you are to pray about this. This page is simply designed to enable you to give as God leads.

Tax efficient giving
If you pay UK tax (Income or Capital Gains Tax) and would like us to claim back the basic rate tax, you will need to complete, sign and return to us an ongoing Gift Aid Declaration if you have not done so already. The benefit to Cambray Baptist Church is that it can recover the basic rate of income tax, currently 25p for each £1 given. (If you pay higher rate tax, you may recover this through your own tax return.) Please click on the link to open up a printable gift aid declaration form.
On receipt of a completed gift aid form, we allocate you a gift aid number. This gives anonymity when placing gifts in the offering bags. Envelopes are available in the church entrance hall to which you can add your gift aid number. The number should also be used when giving in the other ways mentioned (except payroll giving, Charity Choice online or using a charity voucher).
