Giving

At St Mary’s, we want to be generous with all that God has given us—our time, energy, gifts, and finances.

We don’t take up collections during our services, and there’s no expectation for visitors to give. No pressure at all.

But for those who consider St Mary’s their church family, giving financially is one way we can partner in the mission—here in Basingstoke and around the world. We believe generosity is both good for others and good for us—just as Jesus said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)

Many people choose to give regularly by Standing Order. If you’d like to do the same, you can fill in the form here.

All giving is handled with discretion and care. Only our two appointed Giving Secretaries are aware of individual contributions. We’re also committed to managing our finances wisely and transparently—something our PCC takes seriously.

Thank you for your generosity and partnership in the gospel.

Leaving a Gift in Your Will

Some members of St Mary’s choose to leave a gift to the church in their Will (a “legacy”) — a way of continuing to support gospel work beyond their lifetime.

After providing for loved ones, a legacy gift can be a simple and powerful way to invest in the future of the church, helping others hear the good news of Jesus for years to come.

There’s no expectation, but if that’s something you’d like to consider, we’d be very happy to talk it through. Please get in touch with .
