God is generous with his love, his acceptance, his forgiveness – with himself. And in response, he calls us to be a people marked by counter-cultural generosity. At King’s, our financial giving is as much a part of our worship as our signing. We believe in giving regularly, sacrificially and joyfully, knowing that as we give, we advance the kingdom. We have two giving funds: Giving to the church and Giving Beyond.
GIVING TO THE CHURCH
Just as in the early church, the believers brought what they had and put it at the feet of the Apostles (Acts 4:35), we believe giving to the church is the first priority. Without regular, generous giving to the church, giving beyond isn’t possible. Our church fund meets all our costs, including ministries, operations, salaries and facilities. We believe the New Testament teaches us to give proportionately, sacrificially, generously and joyfully, so it’s for each of us to decide what that looks like.
GIVING BEYOND
Once you’re giving regularly to the church, we ask you to consider giving beyond. This is a new model of giving, launched in September 2024. Giving Beyond will fund the advance of the kingdom in three ways:
- Beyond Our Walls – investing in local outreach projects and ministries, reaching the most marginalised people in our own town
- Beyond Our Borders – funding mission projects and partners taking the gospel to the ends of the earth
- Beyond Our Generations – investing in the next generation of leaders
Here’s how to give
Give online
If you are registered for online banking you can use your own bank’s online services to ‘make a payment’. Our bank details are:
Bank: HSBC
Account Name: King’s Church High Wycombe
Account no.: 95126177
Sort Code: 40-38-04
For regular giving, please use your surname and initials as your reference when doing transfers and email finance@kchw.co.uk to let us know you’ve set up a new transfer.
Standing Order
If you give on a regular basis, you might like to consider setting up a Standing Order. This really helps us with our planning and budgeting. You can set this up directly with your own bank online, over the phone or in person at the bank. Please use our bank account details given above.
Give by debit/credit card*
* Card payments accepted through ChurchSuite via Stripe are subject to a 2.2% + 20p transaction fee for UK/European cards, and 3.9% +20p for non-UK/European cards
Give by text**
Text KCHWGIFT followed by the amount you wish to give, e.g. KCHWGIFT 20 to donate £20, to 70085.
** Texts cost the amount of your gift plus one standard rate message. Donr will deduct 5% of each transaction to cover their overheads. Please note that a maximum of £20 per text message and a maximum of £30 per day applies.
However you choose to give, as long as you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by 25p for every £1 given. That means a £10 donation becomes £12.50, or a £100 donation becomes £125 and so on – at no additional cost to you. What a totally brilliant scheme.
If you haven’t already set this up and are eligible, and you’d like to maximise your giving this way, please complete a Gift Aid Declaration form, available from the church office or via the link here.
You only need to do this once and as long as we can identify your future gifts as coming from you, we will automatically request the Gift Aid on your behalf.
