Holland Road
HOW DO I GIVE?
One of our values as a church is generous giving. We believe that God loves to bless us when we give, and that through it we get to be part of His work on earth.
All our income comes from the people who are part of our church and there are many ways you can join in the adventure of giving.
-
Giving by standing order is a great way to regularly give to the work of the church and beyond. It also helps us to steward well all that God provides.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
We give at least 25% of the church’s income to work beyond ourselves, including world mission and social action projects. The remaining funds support our ministries (kids, youth, students, sundays, thrive, alpha and more), church operations, building maintenance, and staff salaries.
WHY GIVE?
One of our values as a church is generous giving. We believe that God loves to bless us when we give, and that through it we get to be part of His work on earth. Here are three reasons to give generously:
God’s been generous to us – 2 Corinthians 9:15
Materialism is toxic to our faith and giving is the best antidote – 1 Timothy 6:17-19
What we give is like a seed sown that will reap a harvest. The more we sow, the greater the harvest – 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
In addition to regular giving, we hold two gift days a year, where members have the opportunity to give beyond their regular giving: one for our work in the church and city and one for the work we support around the world.
GIFT DAYS
Gift days are a great way to give beyond ourselves. You can give in the same ways outlined above, just make sure to give the reference ‘gift day’ to ensure your giving goes towards the gift day total.
You can also make a one-off donation here, just select the right fund as you fill out the form.
If you want to give in-person, yellow envelopes are available throughout the building. Just put your gift in one and hand it to one of our welcome team.
OTHER WAYS TO GIVE
-
Would you like to hold a fun run or a car boot sale for Holland Road? Perhaps you have another, even more creative idea. We would love to support you, promote your fundraising efforts, and celebrate your success.
Please contact us if you have any questions about fundraising or want to discuss an idea further.

You can include Holland Road Baptist Church in your will by the addition of a straightforward clause (see the example below). Gifts from legacies can make an enormous difference to the life of the church and its impact on our local community.
“I give Holland Road Baptist Church (Registered Charity No 1136471) such a sum as together with any other gifts to charity made under my will or any codicil shall constitute a donated amount equal to ten per cent (10%) of the baseline amount in relation to the general component of my estate.”
If you do decide to leave something to a charity in your will, then it won't count towards the total taxable value of your estate. This is called leaving a charitable legacy. You can also cut the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your estate from 40% to 36% if you leave at least 10% of your 'net estate' to a charity.
