What's really helpful to the running of a church is to have regular financial giving. That makes budgeting much easier. However, we're also grateful for one off gifts, including legacies, which often mean we can plan for longer term things like capital developments. You can see how we manage our resources by looking at our latest annual accounts.
Online Giving

Giving By Standing Order/Bank Transfer

Other Ways to Give
- You can place cheques or cash donations in the collection bags during the service. There are yellow giving envelopes in church on which you can make a gift aid declaration (see below).
- You can also tap the card reader in church.
- You may also like to consider making a donation to Christ Church Chislehurst in your will. Please ask your solicitor when you make or change your will.
Giving and Discipleship
Paul's words in the New Testament give a good summary of a healthy attitude towards giving: 'Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each one should give what they have decided in their heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work' (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
