Giving

Why Give?

The Lords Prayer starts with:

“‘Our Father in heaven, holy is your name, may your kingdom come, may your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

By giving financially, we are investing into The Kingdom of Heaven; to help improve the lives of those around us and ultimately show them Jesus.  And while we should never give with the aim of any earthly reward, just like any good investment, there will be a return on that investment; in this life and the next. 

Scripture has a lot to say about giving.

We give because it shows our priorities. Matthew 6:19-20
We give because it shows faith in action. Acts 4:32-35
We give because we have been given so much. 2 Corinthians 8:9

Organisations/People We Support

Below are some of the things we support financially.

Christian Education Project
The Christian Education Project exists as a link between Redbridge schools and the local church, conducting lessons and assemblies that aim to support teachers in their delivery of Christianity as part of the RE syllabus.

Mill Grove
It is still a place of love and care where children and young people who cannot live with their own families are cared for, and where families who need accommodation and support can stay.

Dave and Michele Mahon
Missionaries that have spent a number of years in Peru.

Benjamin Francis
Missionary that lives in India.

Project Malachi
Led by The Salvation Army in Ilford, and supported by a sponsoring committee of senior local faith leaders, Project Malachi is a radical new approach to entrenched rough sleeping, creating a new kind of homelessness hostel, with an integrated bicycle refurbishment social enterprise. This innovative project is the first of its kind to target rough sleepers who have No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) in this way.
