Giving
Why do we give?
We give first and foremost in response to God’s love for us. This includes financial giving to support and advance our vision and work as churches. With this in mind we encourage everyone who sees Marlbrook as their home to give prayerfully, regularly, joyfully and generously in proportion with their income.
We encourage you where possible to give by regular bank transfer (details below) – this is the most efficient and cost-effective way for us to receive donations and really helps us to plan and budget. You can also contact us for bank details if you’d prefer setting up a Standing Order. The full list of ways to give is given below.

ORTHODOX GIVING
Ephesian Fund
- Many in Marlbrook value the evangelical ministry that has been so fruitful in the last few decades with an emphasis on the authority of scripture and the missional call to make new disciples. Recent decisions by the House of Bishops is causing many evangelicals to review their giving to their local Church of England parish church. The Ephesian Fund provides an alternative way to give and is designed to help ensure your giving is used only to support orthodox ministry.
