Giving
We never take an offering from visitors, we never announce targets, and nothing here is ever sold. Giving is between you and God alone.
Why We Give
Freely you have received, freely give
Giving in the New Testament is never pressured, never measured publicly, and never a transaction with God.
The believers we read of in Scripture gave willingly, cheerfully and often quietly — because they had first given themselves to the Lord. We hold to that pattern. There is no offering bag passed around during our services, no envelope with your name on it, and no list of who gave what.
If God has put it on your heart to give, there is a box at the back of the hall and the details below. If He has not, please give nothing at all and come freely to every meeting we hold. You are just as welcome either way.
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7

Accountability
Where your giving goes
Every rupee received is accounted for, and the accounts are open to any believer in the fellowship who wishes to see them.
Widows, elderly believers, and families facing medical emergencies or job loss.
Rent, electricity, sound equipment, chairs and the upkeep of the place we meet in.
School fees, food and medical camps for families in the neighbourhood around us.
Recording and distributing messages and printed material — always given away free.
No elder or preacher in this fellowship draws a salary from the church. Those who minister the Word among us support themselves through their own occupations, exactly as the apostle Paul did in Corinth and Ephesus.
Questions
Common questions about giving
No. Visitors are never asked to give, and no one keeps a record of who does. Come as often as you like and give nothing — you are equally welcome.
We teach what the New Testament teaches: give as you have purposed in your heart, cheerfully and without compulsion. We do not set a percentage, and we do not tie giving to God’s blessing or protection.
Yes. Mention the purpose in the transfer remarks — for example “medical help” or “school fees” — and it will be used for that alone.
A receipt can be issued on request for bank transfers. Write to the church office with the date and amount and we will send one.
Two brothers appointed by the elders, working together and never alone. The accounts are reviewed regularly and are open to any believer in the fellowship who asks to see them.
