Stewardship
Give through our online giving platform.
Stewardship provides an online giving platform which allows you to easily set up and manage monthly giving, as well as make one-off donations. You can make payments using a debit or credit card or set up a Direct Debit mandate. They will also handle claiming Gift Aid on your donation if you're eligible. You can find Hope Church's giving page at here: https://www.give.net/20258429
Note: Stewardship charges a small percentage fee on what you give.
Cash or cheque
Give through a physical means.
There is a giving point at the back of the main church hall, to the left as you come in from the porch, which has a slot for posting in donations by cash or cheque (payable to 'Hope Church Lancaster').
You can also post cash or cheques in an envelope to church, or put it directly through the post box at the front of the building, which is emptied a couple of times a week. If you'd feel more comfortable passing it directly to the treasurer rather than posting it, please contact treasurer@hopelancaster.co.uk to arrange this.
Contactless giving
Make a card payment.
There is a device for making contactless donations on the giving point at the back of the main church hall, to the left as you come in from the porch. Just follow the instructions on the screen.
