In the New Testament, Jesus challenges us to “exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees who tithe all they have”. Rather than a law it now becomes an opportunity of grace. At Walmer, we invite every person to give a significant proportion of their income to the Church for the general running of the Church. Each person is encouraged to give, after prayerful consideration, in a systematic planned way. As leaders at least a tithe of our income as a Church is given to other ministries, mission and outreach beyond the local congregation.

Beyond giving to general expenses which finance things like staffing, ministry, upkeep and maintenance and mission we invite our people to give as they feel led to capital expenditure, like building improvements, outreach and mission such as our Bread of Life Trust and other special needs or challenges, from time to time through special appeals.When giving to specific or special appeals we usually use our general running expenses (FNB) account but depend on clear designation through a reference. We are unreservedly committed to using all gifts or donations towards that for which they were given. All financial records are audited and submitted to our Connexional Office for accountability annualy. With prior arrangement any member is welcome to see and interrogate our finances.
