Giving to St Thomas' Church

As a church we are called to give, and give generously of our time, skills and money to see the kingdom advance in Sheffield and beyond. As individuals we are each called to play our part and respond to this challenge.

We believe that the people of God are called by the bible to give generously in two main ways

A proportion of our income given straight to the church which is called a tithe*
Offerings given freely as an act of thanks or compassion

*10% is often a tithe used in the bible and we consider that a good place to start.
