GIVING TO OUR MINISTRIES

As Christians, we strive to be faithful and generous stewards of the gifts God has given us. God invites us to give our lives away, both to create a more just and peaceful world, and to transform our own hearts and minds. As a community, we live out this invitation through ministries which both proclaim and embody the compassionate, challenging, inclusive love of God we encounter in Jesus.

At St Timothy there are several ways you can make your donations.
