Administration and Finances
Clifton Community Church is an independent church and charitable trust.
Clifton Community Church Reg. Charity No. 328263
As the church is independent it does not have to pay into any denomination (although we are part of the MLG churches network and pay a small sub to them each year). Therefore the church does not receive any income apart from what is given through the offerings, gifts and standing orders. Out of this money the church needs to pay for the upkeep of the building, running costs (bills etc.) and support to those who serve the church. We also give regular gifts to missionaries and other charitable works.
Those who regularly attend the church and feel committed as members are encouraged to honour the Lord through regular giving from their income, either through the Sunday offerings or by standing order/bank transfer. If you are a registered UK tax payer you can sign a gift aid form and the church will receive a tax rebate. We usually claim this once per year from the government. Please see Michelle Barrow who is the treasurer if you would like a standing order or gift aid form
