Where does our Church’s income come from?
Heatherside Church is unique in being the only church in the Diocese of Guildford not to have its own church building. This means that our only income is through planned giving from individuals in the Church, where possible taking full advantage of income tax relief through Gift Aid.
Special collections may be held on occasions, such as our Easter, Remembrance and Christmas Services.
Where does the money go?
The mission for Heatherside Church is to grow the kingdom throughout the Heatherside local area of Camberley. Your donations support the various church activities in operating its services and outreach work to the parish, through children and families.
Part of our income receive is paid as “Parish Share” which is paid by all churches to the Diocese in its mission to serve God. This covers the costs of vicars and curate in the Diocese and towards the national costs of the Church of England
