Support the Church

Giving With the Right Heart

London Rangers Church exists to serve people, build community, and share faith through action. While we do need finances to operate and support our work, we value time, service, and relationship far more than money.

Giving is never pressured and never expected. It is something that should be done freely and joyfully, not out of obligation.

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
— 2 Corinthians 9:7

More Than Money

Some of the most valuable ways people support the church include: 

  • Giving time through volunteering
  • Offering skills, encouragement, and care
  • Praying for the church, community, and one another
  • Simply being present and building relationships 


These contributions matter deeply and are just as important as financial giving. 

Why Financial Support Helps

Financial gifts help us to: 

  • Run community and church activities
  • Support pastoral care and practical help
  • Provide food, hospitality, and resources
  • Maintain safe and welcoming spaces
  • Support outreach connected to football and community work 


We aim to use finances wisely, responsibly, and in line with our values. 

Transparency & Accountability

We are committed to being open and transparent. 

  • Church finances are managed responsibly
  • Members are kept informed
  • Financial updates are shared at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) 


We believe trust is built through honesty and accountability. 

Ways to Give

If you would like to support the church financially, you can give in any of the following ways:

  • Cash or card (in person)
  • Online giving
  • PayPal


There is no set amount and no expectation to give regularly. Give only if and when you feel led to do so.

In Simple Terms

We don’t seek money — we seek people.
Giving is voluntary, transparent, and rooted in gratitude, not pressure.

If you have any questions about giving or church finances, you’re always welcome to ask.

If you want next, I can:

  • Shorten this for a mobile-only version
  • Add a “Give your time” section
  • Include a financial integrity statement suitable for partners or funders

Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid. This allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 given, at no additional cost to you. 

How Gift Aid Works 

  • You must be a UK taxpayer
  • You must have paid enough Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax to cover the amount reclaimed
  • Gift Aid can be claimed on financial gifts only 


Gift Aid is entirely optional. You are never expected to opt in, and choosing not to does not affect your involvement or welcome in the church. 

 

Our Commitment 

  • Gift Aid is claimed responsibly and correctly
  • Records are kept securely
  • All Gift Aid claims are included in our financial reporting
  • Members are updated at our AGM 

 

Important Reminder 

If your circumstances change and you no longer pay sufficient tax, you can withdraw your Gift Aid declaration at any time. 

 

Giving remains a personal choice. Gift Aid simply helps your generosity go further if you choose to use it.

Give Your Time

Serving Is at the Heart of Our Church

At London Rangers Church, giving your time is one of the most valuable ways to support the church. We believe that presence, service, and relationships are just as important — if not more — than financial giving.

You don’t need special skills or lots of availability. What matters most is a willing heart.

Ways to Get Involved

There are many simple and practical ways to serve, including:

  • Welcome & hospitality – tea, coffee, and greeting people
  • Community & outreach – supporting football and community programmes
  • Practical help – setting up, packing away, or helping where needed
  • Prayer & pastoral support – praying for others and offering encouragement


You can serve regularly or occasionally, whatever fits your life and season.

Why Giving Time Matters

Serving helps to:

  • Build genuine relationships
  • Strengthen community
  • Support those who are struggling
  • Live out our values of love, relationship, family, and compassion


Every contribution, no matter how small it may feel, makes a real difference.
