Giving
Reasons to Give
A church needs financial backing just like any other organisation or project does, but as we are not a business we rely solely on the free offerings of others.
To function as a church we need money: we employ Pastors who we desperately need to feed us from God’s Word in order that we continue living as Christians; we rent Knollmead School each Sunday from where we hold our church services; we run events which can include buying food, printing fliers and other things to get people along to and tell them the gospel.
Who should give
We only ask our regular church members to give money towards our church work. We don’t have a collection during services because we do not want to ask newcomers or visitors for money.
How to give
You can give to Hope Church Tolworth in the following ways. Please also Gift Aid your support if you can.
1. Regular Standing Order via online or mobile banking, using the details below.
Recipient/payee: The Co-Mission Churches Trust *
Account: 00102280
Sort code: 40-52-40

* When making a donation via online banking or cheque, please use 'The Co-Mission Churches Trust' (our charity name) as the beneficiary (recipient) name. Rest assured, the whole of your donation and any associated Gift Aid will still go directly to Hope Church's separate bank account.
This is the church’s preferred giving method as standing orders help the church to budget and plan for the future.

You can give through your workplace’s payroll giving scheme if they have one. Your employer may even top up or match the support their employees give through the scheme.
To support Hope Church through one of these schemes, you will need the charity details shown at the bottom of this page. Please include 'Hope Church Tolworth' if you are able to include a reference. If there is no option for a reference, please email giving@co-mission.org to let the Co-Mission Finance Team know your donations are intended for Hope Church Tolworth. (Please note, we will not be able to claim Gift Aid on donations made in this way).
