Supporting Christ’s work
We are incredibly grateful for all who give financially to support St. John’s. This provides St. John’s the resources so others come to know Christ, lives are changed and the vulnerable supported in our community and beyond.
Our members do that, because they love Jesus and want others to meet him, as the Bible says: ‘God loves a cheerful giver’. If you'd like an overview of the Bible’s teaching about giving, click here.
Our Church Council, as a body of charitable trustees, prayerfully considers how to use our funds. Our audited accounts are presented annually at our Annual Church Meeting. You can find a copy here.
Looking ahead to 2026, as a church family we are reviewing our giving, with a view to increasing what we give to St. John's for those who can. You can read all about it here. For next year, our work will cost about £2,830 a week. Much of this pays for our gospel ministers who give all their time to sharing Jesus; as well as for children's & youth ministry and wider evangelism. These ministers are mainly our own vicar and curate, but include a contribution we make towards the cost of clergy in poorer parts of South Yorkshire. This is how all that will actually be used:
