Transform Your Church’s future | The Church of England

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13.13

Over the centuries, generous Church members have left Gifts in Wills to their local church. These gifts have often been transformational in helping a parish with its mission and ministry, its involvement with young children and families, continuing the strong musical tradition or preserving and protecting our unique heritage.

No matter how large or small, each legacy gift enables our Churches to play their part in the unfolding Christian story in our community.

Church and fabric building

Every church is a part of the local landscape and community. Many of our churches are improving their toilet and kitchen facilities, building better access, opening rooms for functions and creating warm, welcoming environment for all. A gift in your will could help protect our unique heritage now, and for future generations.

Mission and ministry

Do you wish your church could reach out to the vulnerable in your local community? Many of our churches are transforming their communities by working in areas of great need. Your gift could pay for an outreach activity such as a soup kitchen for the homeless, debt counselling or a befriending service for the elderly.

Youth

A legacy gift could fund a crèche or an after-school club, enabling the Church to reach out to young families and their children in the community. In addition many Church’s would like to employ a Youth and Children’s Worker to encourage more children and young people to attend church regularly; a future legacy could help achieve this.

Music

Over many centuries organists, singers and composers have passed down strong musical traditions, which continue to play a leading role in the musical and cultural life of the Church . Your gift could provide music or vestments for the choir, instruments for the band, or enable the organ to be rebuilt.
