Giving to Warfield Church

 
God calls all people to Him, to know Him personally and discover a life of love and freedom – to fix our broken world more.  Jesus demonstrated this love most powerfully at Easter time but we see in everything he did before and after that event; He continues to set people free today from condemnation and guilt: free to live abundant lives. We want to see more and more of this happening here in Warfield and Bracknell.
 
We believe that Jesus calls us to do the same. By living out our personal lives through a deeply rooted faith in Jesus, God draws our friends, neighbours, colleagues and even strangers to Him. God promises to walk with us through the challenges of life. He challenges us to do things that seem unconventional or difficult because He loves us and wants us to be free.
 
He calls us to go deeper and to live generously: to give time to stop, look around and focus on Him and what He’s calling each of us to be part of His local church so we can grow more like him; and to give financially, so the local church can operate and thrive.

Ways to Give

We are grateful for all gifts received whether regularly through bank accounts, one-off gifts or in the offerings given Sunday by Sunday. We encourage everyone to consider prayerfully how much they should give to God’s work and to give regularly. Regular giving means that we can budget more accurately and helps our cash flow.
Where possible we encourage people to give through the:

Parish Giving Scheme

Warfield uses the Parish Giving Scheme run by the Oxford Diocese. Details of the scheme are available at this link https://www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk/for-donors/. A monthly, quarterly or annual debit is taken by Direct Debit from your bank. The Parish Giving Scheme automatically credits Warfield Church the amount plus any associated Gift Aid on a monthly basis. You can sign up to
the scheme online or by phone.
 
You will also be asked if you are eligible to gift aid your donation and if you wish to increase your gift annually by inflation.
 
To sign up online you can use the following link:
https://www.parishgiving.org.uk/donors/find-your-parish/warfield-st-michael-bracknell/
 
To sign up by phone, call the dedicated sign-up line on 0333 002 1271. You will need your personal bank account details and the name and PGS code for St Michael’s, Warfield: 270627337
 
If you already give through PGS and would like to change the amount you give, you can now do this online by going to https://www.parishgiving.org.uk/my-pgs/ and activating your account.

One-Off Donations

If you want to make a one-off donation and are a taxpayer then please ensure that you have completed a Gift Aid Form if you have not done so in the past. The form is available here.
Warfield Church can then claim 25% of your donation from HMRC. Payment can be made by cheque (made out to ‘Warfield PCC’ and sent to the church office) or BACS transfer.

(Some people have had problems when making donations as some banks require the full name of the account, which is 'The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Warfield'. This doesn't seem to be a problem with all banks)

Taxpayers should make payments to:

 

   Warfield PCC Gift Aid Account
               Sort Code 40-13-10               
   Account Number 90839361
