Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do we receive funds from the Diocese / Anglican Church?
|
No, in fact after certain deductions, 16% of our general giving is paid to the Diocese. There are specific grants available from the Diocese that we can and do apply for, often building related, and we’ve received $5,000 towards the repair of the roof last year. |
Do we pay for the Minister?
| |
Yes, we pay all of the Minister’s stipend and allowances. The Diocese contributes to only a proportion of his superannuation. We also pay for all the other staff we currently employ. |
Do we pay for the Church building and its maintenance?
| |
Yes, we are liable for all costs in maintaining or improving the Church buildings, Rectory and land. |
Can I buy something and donate it to the church instead of giving money?
| |
You can, though monetary donations are preferred. If you do buy something or pay for a service as a donation, please give us a copy of the invoice / receipt. It enables us to evaluate the full turnover / cost of running the church, and, as we are GST registered we are able to claim this back. |
