START YOUR GIVING JOURNEY
At The Light Church, we don’t take an offering every week. Instead, we believe that generosity and giving are so important that we should prioritise them and make them a regular practice rather than just emptying out whatever is left in our pockets.
If you are new to us, we want all we do to be our gift to you, but if you have made The LC your home, we’d love you to go on the giving journey with us. Here’s what that looks like:
Step 1 - Give Occasionally
Maybe you have never given into the life of the church before. You can give as a one-off via our online method; if you carry cash, you’re welcome to drop cash into the giving post-box, too.
Step 2 - Give Regularly
A further step into generosity could be to move from giving now and then to set up a regular financial gift to the church. You prefer to set up a standing order with your bank, but you can also set it up by clicking here or signing up through your bank using the details below.
Step 3 - Tithe (giving 10%)
We hear about a principle in the Bible called ‘tithing’ - giving a 10th of your income. This idea could be a great next step for you if you are already giving regularly. You can increase your regular gift using your Church Suite account or arrange it with your bank directly.
Step 4 - Sacrificial Giving
If you already give 10% but want to give above that, it could be a good next step in your financial giving. Discuss with your loved ones and those you trust, and make arrangements with your bank directly to increase your giving.
