Returning Tithes and Offerings During Church Closure

This week, the British Union Conference President announced the difficult decision to suspend all church services in light of the developing situation around coronavirus. This is an unprecedented move in our church history. As a people of faith, we will continue to worship together in other ways and forms such as livestreaming, in small groups or with our own families.

In response to the many enquiries as to how you can continue to return your tithe and offerings, see information below and a file from the SEC showing other ways of giving besides the traditional method of returning your donations through envelopes and offering baskets.

Here are the ways of giving and brief notes:

On-line giving – via church website and click DONATE button Bank transfer – Please quote your Gift Aid number, if any as the bank transaction reference. Telephone – call your local conference or the BUC - Available between Monday to Thursday from 9:30am to 4:30pm Cheques – Please issue cheques to your Conference or the BUC and write your gift aid number of church name at the back of the cheque Text giving - Local offerings only Mobicash/mobile app – As of March 2020, only available for paying SEC and tithe.
