This is a shared calling and a long-term investment in God's mission. As a church family, we believe that a substantive home on Edge Lane will help us welcome more people, grow disciples, strengthen community and serve Liverpool throughout the week.
We're trusting god to provide all we need, and to do it through us. It's not about equal gifts, but equal sacrifice as we each play our part.
There are two ways to participate:
-> Make a one off gift
-> Make a 5-year pledge
We're deeply grateful for both. If you are discerning between the two, here's how to think about the impact:
- One off gifts help significantly with up front costs (purchase and initial works), and go further in real terms because they aren't eroded by future inflation; they also reduce the risk of cost increases over time.
- 5-year pledges enable broad participation and sustainable planning, spreading the journey across many seasons.
For students and those early in their careers, your capacity will look different, but your participation deeply matters. A small, regular pledge over five years is a powerful way to say: "I'm part of this story."
Even £20-£40 a month is genuine sacrifice in this season and sets lifelong patterns of generosity.
-> A simple monthly pledge
-> A one off gift at a meaningful moment
-> Offering "first fruits" when employment begins
Half of our church were not here ten years ago. This is your moment to shape our future.
For those in stable work but without large family costs, this may be a season where you can lean in. A consistent monthly gift, perhaps stretching to the point you feel it, could help lay foundations for ministry and mission far beyond this building.
-> £30-£100/month
-> A one off "first big generosity step"
-> Comitting a work bonus or annual pay rise uplift
What you give may not be huge in scale, but it can be huge in faith.
For families, life is stretched. Childcare, mortgages, rising costs. This building will serve your children and the next generation until Jesus comes again.
A thoughtful monthly pledge, perhaps by adjusting lifestyle costs together as a family, is a meaningful act of shared sacrifice.
-> £50-£200/month depending on means
-> Involving children: a family "giving jar" or shared decision about sacrificing a holiday upgrade or subscription
-> A five-year pledge aligned with existing family budgets
Your sacrifice is measured in love, not in comparison with others.
For those with reduced financial pressures or increased capacity, this could be a once-in-a-generation moment to accelerate our mission growth. We invite you to consider a leadership level gift, not out of pressure, but as worship and vision.
-> £200-£1,000+/month depending on capacity
-> Larger one-off gifts that anchor planning
-> Multi-year structured commitments
Some of you have been entrusted with more in this season. If the Lord leads, your generosity could unlock ministry beyond our city, until the Lord returns.
We know our seasons and circumstances differ. Some gave sacrificially in the past when we purchased 2 Blackburne Place, our original centre. Many have joined the church family since.
Faithfulness isn't measured by the size of the gift, but by the depth of the sacrifice. Please give prayerfully, in line with your means, with joy and realism over the coming years.
Before you give, please take time to pray, to talk at home, and to ask;
-> What would sacrificial participation look like in my season?
-> What could I joyfully give up or delay to take part?
-> How might we, together, make room for others to meet Jesus?
