Building a Generous Church

Generosity is at the heart of our faith. We believe in a generous God and our own generosity is a testament and hallmark of our faith in action. The ministry and mission of The Church of England is largely funded through the incredible generosity of those who give to it.

To help build a generous church, we need to look both at practical issues (Giving Practice) and also ensure the culture within our church is one of generosity. Below you will find links to a wide variety of resources, guidance and inspiration for encouraging giving to your church and for growing generosity within your church.
