Each person should give what they
have decided in their hearts to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion
for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Cor 9v7
What does St Chad’s Church need, and why?
We need the support of our congregation to help us run the church.
Insiders know just how many person-hours are needed to both maintain our attractive complex and provide worship services – over 150 hours per week. In addition, it costs £610/day to run St Chad’s.
Whether you are an insider or a sympathetic outsider, we eagerly seek your help to keep St Chad’s going and to expand what we do.
