Financial Giving
Generosity is a natural response when we encounter the generosity that God has lavished on us. It’s the generosity of many that enables us to fulfil the vision to spread the love of God to Balham and beyond. There are several different ways of giving financially explained below.

What difference does my giving make?
Over the last few years your giving has enabled us to do so much great work in the church! We’ve been able to open a debt centre, provide relief for refugees and shelter for the homeless. This has allowed our vision of the church building becoming a 24/7 community hub to become a reality. Alongside this we are also able to financially support five Mission Partners. Thank you for your generosity!
