Giving: An Act of Worship
At Sanctuary Church we believe that giving is much more than a financial transaction – it’s an act of worship and obedience to God. Scripture reminds us, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). Through giving we acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from God and we have the privilege to give back to Him.
Your generosity helps further the work God is doing through Sanctuary Church, enabling us to share the Gospel, serve our community and create spaces where lives are transformed by His love.
Give a One-Time Gift
If you have been blessed by your visit with us and feel led to give a one-time gift you can do so securely through our Stewardship page.This is an opportunity to respond in worship and participate in the work God is doing in and through Sanctuary Church. (Please note this page will name The Bay Church, as it was the previous name and it takes time to change our accounts to Sanctuary Church).
Set Up a Standing Order
Tithing regularly is a way to honour God with the first fruits of our labour. Proverbs 3:9 encourages us, “Honour the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.” Setting up a standing order is a simple way to faithfully give on a regular basis. You can set this up through your bank with the details below:
- Account Name: The Bay Church (North East)
- Account Number: 20449984
- Sort Code: 60-83-01
This allows you to automate your giving in a way that aligns with your income schedule, helping you consistently worship God through your finances.
Gift Aid
If you’re a UK taxpayer you have the opportunity to further your giving through Gift Aid. By completing the Gift Aid form the government adds an extra 25p to every £1 you give. (Please note this form names The Bay Church, as it was the previous name and it takes time to change our accounts to Sanctuary Church).
As 2 Corinthians 9:11 reminds us, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”
We are thankful for your faithfulness and the heart with which you give. Through your cheerful giving you participate in the life-changing work of God’s Kingdom.
