Giving

At St Andrew’s, we rely on God to guide the mission directions of the church. To support these mission objectives, financial resources are needed for ministry and outreach to the community. These resources come primarily from the generous giving of members of the congregation, along with income from fundraising and donations from external users of the St Andrew’s halls and facilities.

As part of their personal commitment to the mission of God in the Hawkesbury, church members are encouraged to give regularly, cheerfully and sacrificially. Everyone is invited to consider giving in one of the following ways:

• Cash Offerings

• Weekly Offering Envelopes

• Giving Direct

The amount of a person’s or family’s financial offering is a private decision between the giver and God and is never shared with others in the church.

An offering may be made by cash or cheque via the offering bags during any worship service.

If you would like a pack of weekly offering envelopes for your family or personal use, please contact the St Andrew’s Treasurer via the Contact Us page.

The envelopes are useful for enclosing your offering (cash or cheque) during any worship service.

Giving Direct is a method for making regular transfers of an amount you specify from your bank account to the St Andrew’s Church Giving Direct Account. This can be set up as a weekly, fortnightly or monthly transaction and may be amended or cancelled at any time under your direct control.
