Responding to Requests

Response forms invite requests for information on ways to give. Managing such requests efficiently and personally is about the value we place on someone's response and our trustworthiness in financial matters. This section contains guidance and information brochures. Aim to respond personally within three weeks of receiving a response form.

Intentional giving

In this section we focus mainly on those regular gifts so vital both to our personal journey of generosity and our church's mission, and the importance of gifts in wills. As always, it's never about 'getting the gift' but blessing and building trust and relationships with the giver. That's why the personal visit in responding to requests matters.
