Parish Share
Like every Church, we contribute a certain sum each month to the
Diocese. This money is then used to pay for clergy stipends, housing,
training and pensions.
Staff Cost
We employ an associate vicar, a youth minister and children's minister
and pay several other people who work in and around the Church.
These include administration staff, cleaners and gardener, and for
some of these we also pay National Insurance contributions.
Running Costs
The House of God is like any other house, with the usual bills to
be paid for both the Church and the Parish Centre. Gas, electricity,
telephone, insurance, water rates, stationery, repairs and maintenance
are just some of these. We also pay a mortgage for our curate's
house.
Activities
This, broadly, covers the 'life' of our Church. There are over 40
groups in the Church, most of which do not need money but several
do. The main groups needing financial support are our children and
youth organisations.
Projects
Each year we have 'one-off' projects to carry out. These can range
from simply fitting some new shelves to carrying out extensive restoration
work on the fabric of the Church and grounds.
