As a charity, Christ Church relies on the generosity of our members and friends to ensure that we make the maximum impact of our Christian faith in our Swindon community and further afield. At least once a year we have a particular focus on financial giving. We share what the Bible says about giving and what we have achieved in recent months and what we plan to achieve in the coming year.  At the beginning of this month we sent out a number of Pledge packs to members on the Church electoral roll  – this invited them to review their giving to the church for the coming year and let us know what they can commit to. This helps us to predict our income for next year and how much we can budget for both our own mission and that of the Bristol Diocese. Remember the church doesn’t get any outside financial help from the government – all our income comes from our friends and supporters.

If you have not received a pack but would like to join us in supporting the work and mission of Christ Church in our local community and further afield then you can download the pledge document and a leaflet explaining our financial position.
