Giving
God invites us to live generous lives, and part of that is investing in his church with our gifts of time, energy, effort, and money. In giving, we also allow the church to function, flourish, and serve. There many ways to give to WCC are described below.
If you would like to give to the Kingsgrove Community Hub (KCH, previously known as the WCC Building Fund) then please go to the Hub's giving page here.
I would like to make a Bank Transfer
If you wish to make a one-off donation, or set up a standing order for regular donations, then please instruct your bank to make payment to the church’s bank account, details of which are below. Please note that although the account name is that of charity of which we are a part rather than that of our church, transfers made using this bank account number will come direct to WCC. You can make a transfer using your own online or telephone banking service. It helps us to make sure your donation is used appropriately if you describe your donation in the reference associated with the transfer.
Sort-code: 20-97-48
Account number: 80679941
Reference: e.g. "WCC Gift", "WCC Tithe"

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can also give us permission to claim Gift Aid on your donation by making a Gift Aid Declaration. This is really valuable to us as it increases the amount we receive by 25% without costing you anything. You can give us permission to claim Gift Aid on your donation. If you would like to do this then please email giving@wantagecc.org.uk.
I would like to make a donation now
Please click the Donate button at the bottom of this or any of the pages on our website.
This will allow you use a credit or debit card to make a one-off or regular donation. Do please be aware that this does involve a small commission being taken by the system that enables these payments. You will not incur any extra expense because of this, but is does subtract a small amount from the total received by the church. You will be given the opportunity to increase your gift to cover these costs. You will also be given the opportunity to give us permission to claim Gift Aid on your donation.
I would like to give in person
On Sunday mornings you can give in person using our contactless giving points (to give by credit or debit card, as well as by Apple Pay or Google Pay on your smart device) or our offering box (for cheques and cash).
