Why we ask for donations

We receive no public funding or church funding for our community and our building. That’s why we have to ask for donations and it’s vitally important if we are to continue here in Finchley. Our costs include over £90,000 for the provision of clergy, their housing and central Diocese of London costs. We have to pay to insure our buildings and our church building is a Grade II* listed building. We need to pay for energy, office costs and other church expenditure such as music, services, flowers and so on. In addition, but fundamental to our mission, we need to find money to support those in need around us and those engaged in supporting Christian communities around the world.

We are asking for financial support for two reasons
