Kingdom Giving!
Gift Weeks 2024
We hold Gift Weeks each year where we ask for gifts to support designated projects that help us to see more lives transformed by Jesus! You can make an immediate donation or pledge an amount to be redeemed at a later date.
This year’s Gift Week funds will be going towards:
A new building for our growing Southbourne site or congregation
Help give to our global mission - to people doing great things in other nations
Let's make it easier to get more of us at Commission Festival
Provide emergency support to families in crisis in our community
Ways to give!
We want to see lives transformed through new sites launched and more projects that impact our community.

You can also set pledges through your ChurchSuite MyGiving tab.
These could be pledges towards your general giving or towards one of our Gift Weeks where we ask for one-off offerings for designated purposes.
If you’re a UK tax payer at the basic rate or higher we can claim Gift Aid on your behalf. This is an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 you give. There is no lower limit on the amount you can give, but the gift needs to be traced back to the giver.
Why should I give?
Regular giving is one of the ways that we express our love and trust in Jesus. He gave His very life and it cost Him everything. Our giving is an act of faith and obedience to Him. What we do with our possessions is a sure indicator of what's in our hearts.
By committing to give to Citygate you will be investing in all of our ministries, in order to reach those who don’t know Jesus yet, and to make disciples. This includes our children, youth and student work, pastoral care, staff salaries and feeding the homeless - all of these works and more require regular church giving in order to grow.
If you have any questions relating to giving, please email finance@citygate.church.

Our vision
Our vision is to see lives transformed, every day, across the bay. We are transformed by His grace, to bring his kingdom transformation to the lives and the culture around us.
-
Serving
God has given everything in His son Jesus and he has also given us gifts as His children. One of the ways that we honour and worship Him is to use these gifts in service to others.
-
Social action
Jesus mandate was to help the poor, heal the sick and set the oppressed free. We want to continue Jesus' mission, giving hope to all, no matter their circumstance!
