Giving

 Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.  2 Corinthians 9:7

How do I give?

At Village our pattern is for members to make an annual pledge each November, allowing the church leadership to make wise, informed planning decisions about our church’s financial future. As you become a member of Village Church and you consider how you can support Jesus’ work here, we’d love for you to become a regular financial contributor, or give a one-off gift.

Give online now

You can set up a direct gift immediately by card online - either as a one off or regular transfer.

Giving to Village Church

We love Annandale and surrounds, the Inner West and all of Sydney as well.  

But our heart is one that bleeds. Of the 10,000 people living in Annandale and surrounds - let alone the five million people living in Sydney - very few know the love of Jesus and the hope that he offers everyone.  

Village Church came about because we wanted to change that. The vision of our church was never to see a small group of like-minded individuals get together just to share a common interest. It was a big vision- an ‘out there’, ridiculous, bold vision.  

Glorifying God by seeing Annandale and our surrounds growing as disciples of Jesus by: 

  1. Growing Village in depth and numbers 
  2. Sending 2+ people per year into full time ministry 
  3. Strengthening God's kingdom beyond Village 

We're hungry, restless, and striving for growth. We rejoice in the growth of our church and the way that people are growing in their faith in Jesus. We want to see our church as a lifeboat as more people are rescued from darkness and grown as disciples of Jesus, all for the glory of God.  

This is a huge vision. A crazy, insurmountable, impossible vision. The kind of vision that you need God to turn up for if it’s ever going to become a reality! But that’s what puts fire in our bones. It takes money to do this; a vision like this needs resourcing, but we have a God who does the impossible. And trusting him, we’d love to share with you, how you can worship God, be spiritually enriched, increase your joy, and partner with us in growing God’s kingdom- all through the simple act of being generous with the money he has so graciously given you. 

How much should I give?

In the Old Testament, God’s people were instructed to give a tithe (10%) of their income back to God, but the New Testament never names a specific amount that we should give. Rather than holding forth a ‘law’ or ‘ruling’ on how much we should give, the New Testament puts forward a new idea of ‘sacrificial generosity’- generosity as a response to God’s grace shown to us in Jesus Christ.  

At Village, we see a tithe as the springboard for generosity. For this reason, we invite our members to consider tithing their income to support the work of the gospel at Village, as well as encouraging our church to grow in generosity by giving above and beyond this (at Village and also to other causes).
