Giving 

Your giving makes a difference.

Why We Give

As Christians, we give in response to the generosity and grace of God. Everything we have comes from him, and giving is one way in which we express our gratitude, worship, and trust.

Our giving is not about obligation or pressure. Rather, it is a joyful response to God's love and an opportunity to support the work of his Church.

Whether your gift is large or small, it helps us share the good news of Jesus Christ and serve our communities in Kildwick, Cononley, Bradley, Farnhill, and Cross Hills.

Every gift helps support worship, pastoral care, ministry with children and families, community outreach, the maintenance of our church buildings, and the many ways we seek to make Christ known in our parish.

"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7

Thank you for prayerfully considering how you might support the life and ministry of our parish.

If you are experiencing financial hardship or struggling with debt, please do not feel under any pressure to give financially. There are many other ways to be generous, including offering your time, skills, prayers, and support to others.
 

Regular Giving and One-Off Donations

The easiest way to support the parish financially is through the Parish Giving Scheme. Every penny given comes directly to support the work and ministry of Kildwick, Cononley & Bradley.

You can use the links below to set up a regular gift or make a secure one-off donation.

While we are grateful for every gift, regular monthly giving is especially valuable. It enables us to plan confidently, maintain our ministry, care for our buildings, and develop projects that serve our communities for the long term.

You can also give by cash or cheque at any of our services, or by card using the donation point at the rear of St Andrew's Church, Kildwick.
 

Gifts in Wills

A gift in your will can be a lasting expression of faith and generosity.

We welcome gifts of any size and promise to use them carefully and responsibly to support the future ministry and mission of our parish.

We have been blessed by generous legacy gifts in the past, which have enabled us to:

  • Repair and conserve our historic church buildings
  • Install the nave altar at St Andrew's Kildwick
  • Support ministry and mission for future generations


If you would like to discuss leaving a gift to the parish in your will, Rev'd Mike would be happy to speak with you in complete confidence. Please use the contact form below.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

A warm welcome to our parish!

We have lots going on, with many different ways to get involved with church life. If you’re new, come to one of our services where you can meet a few friendly faces and find out more about us.

You may also choose to sign up for our weekly email newsletter, (see here), which provides useful information about what’s going on as well as church family news. But don’t worry, we won’t spam your inbox! 

Finding a new church can be hard, and we want to help any way we can. If you are looking for a new church home, we thought you’d want to know what we are all about.

We believe God’s mission for us is to be “Sharing, Caring, Growing in Christ.” And how doing that we grow in LOVE toward God and neighbour.

Mission
In Christ


Even though it is at the end of our mission statement, the words “In Christ” encapsulates the starting point as our lives as Christians. Everything begins with our relationship with God, in Christ, as we grow, care, and share, loving our God by loving our neighbour.


Growing


We believe your journey of faith is one of constant growth. We learn more about God and our faith as we study God’s truth given to us in the Bible. God loves us too much to be done developing us into the disciples He wants us to be, and so we continue to seek to grow in what it means to be His followers.


Caring


A Christian life is one of caring for each other. We share the love and joy we receive from God by caring for them. Jesus first showed that care for us by his death on the cross and the forgiveness he delivers. We, then, get to live that our in our lives by caring and serving our neighbours.


Sharing


What an opportunity God gives us, to share the good news of what Jesus has done for us. Now, more than ever, this world needs to hear the message of a God who loves them, who died for them, who hears their prayers, and who promises to be with them always. As His disciples, we get to be the ones to share that message of hope, love, and peace. 
 

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the month, some afternoons and some evenings. We can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
