Giving

We have a generous God! Everything we have comes from Him, and we recognise that our giving is an act of worship.

We therefore encourage you to give as generously as you can to support the ministry and mission of Greyfriars and New Hope. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Our vision is ‘to see Reading transformed by the love and power of Jesus’. To fulfil this vision we invest in discipleship, pastoral care, leading worship, evangelism, social outreach, resourcing the wider church and more! Our planned expenditure for this year is shown in the chart below:

Thanks to your generosity, most of our income comes from giving. In order to meet our planned expenditure, we will need everyone at Greyfriars and New Hope giving on a regular basis.

There are two ways in which you can give to Greyfriars and New Hope: by Direct Debit through the Parish Giving Scheme or directly to Greyfriars Church.

Parish Giving Scheme

Our strong preference is that gifts are made via the Parish Giving Scheme (“PGS”). 

PGS is a well-established service for managing one-off and Direct Debit giving and is specifically designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry. 

By managing all administrative aspects of giving, including the making of Gift Aid claims on behalf of Greyfriars, PGS reduces the burden of work on church staff and volunteers enormously and provides a simple and secure service to givers.  All regular gifts made via PGS are free of charges and Greyfriars receives 100% of the gift.
