Ways We Give
God has been good to us and we respond by giving back to him through the local church where He has placed us. The Bible encourages us to give regularly, sacrificially and cheerfully. It is with thankful hearts that we give our finances and time back to God as an act of worship.
All donations received are used for the running costs of the church, youth and children's work, salaries, administration and the vital works in our community and as well as supporting missions overseas. If you pay UK Income or Capital Gains tax any amount you donate can be increased at no cost to you as long as you have completed a Gift Aid Form - see further details below.
The most efficient way to give both in terms of time and benefit to us is via a bank standing order (with Gift Aid in place if you pay tax).
We really appreciate everyone who gives to the work of the church.
Give through the Bank
Setting up a Standing Order to the church bank account on a monthly basis is what many people find simplest and it is also the most cost effective. You can also increase your giving at no cost to you by completing a Gift Aid Form below.
Account Name:
EFGA Rugby Elim Church
SC: 30-91-87 AC: 01771695
Bank: Lloyds
Give in Person
We take up an offering during our weekly services. You can give by cash or by cheque.
These donations can also be gift aided if you have completed a Gift Aid Form and place them in an envelope with your name, date and any additional reference on it given to you by the church finance officer.
Give Online
You can give online today using a debit or credit card. We do this in partnership with ChurchSuite and with Stripe and they take a small percentage of the donation amount.
If you are a UK taxpayer then gifts made by any method can be increased by 25% through the Gift Aid scheme administered by the church.
You can also backdate your gift aid declaration so that historical gifts you have made can also have tax reclaimed by the church. The church will need to be able to prove that you donated, so these historical claims would generally need to have been electronic payments showing on the church bank statements.
Complete the online gift aid form here and it will be sent to the church email address and to Elim centrally for processing. Alternatively you can download the application form, complete it and return the completed form, duly signed to the church office for processing.
Should your personal circumstances change you may cancel at any time.
