Well-maintained and enhanced church buildings are a strong witness that the Christian faith is very much alive and making a positive difference in our communities- our buildings ‘speak’. They are our place for collective worship, a house of prayer and a resource for mission.

Grants and Fundraising

Fundraising can be a great opportunity for Christian witness. It’s about speaking with a wide range of people about the work of the church and its desire to do even more, inviting others to join in to make it happen.


Raising more funds also means the church is better resourced to make an even bigger difference in people’s lives and the world around us, for the glory of God.
