At St Mary’s, we want to be generous with all that God has given us—our time, energy, gifts, and finances.
Giving at St Mary's
We don’t take up collections during our services, and there’s no expectation for visitors to give. We don’t believe in pressuring anyone to give.
But for those who consider St Mary’s their church family, giving financially is one way we can partner in the church’s 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).
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.
For more information, please read our Giving & Generosity booklet (available in print or online).
To give to the PCC, you can give securely online here.
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 .
