Giving
Generosity is a natural response when we encounter God who has given us everything.
The life and ministry of St Paul’s is enabled almost entirely by the generosity of individuals, in giving of their time, talents and finances. We are thankful to you all, as together we look to follow Jesus and fulfil the mission and ministry he has given us.

Where does the money go?
Over 85% of the income of St Paul’s Kingston comes from donations from individuals and we thank God and you all for every penny that you give. Your giving goes to funding the vision of St Pauls - to be a people who, through encounter, transformation and love, are growing in their life with God - making disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Each year we give 10% of our general income to help fund our mission partners, and a further 10% of our general income to the Diocese of Southwark to help fund mission and ministry across South London and East Surrey.
The remaining 80% is spent on the mission and ministry that God has called us to in Kingston; if you want to know more, read our Annual Report, or check out our latest vision and giving talks below:
