Giving at NPR
Sharing what we have. Repairing what is broken.
Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God. Our money, time, skills and relationships are gifts to be shared for the good of others.
Giving is one way we share responsibility for the life of New Park Road Baptist Church and participate in God’s work of justice, healing and restoration.
No pressure. If you are visiting, exploring faith or receiving support through our community work, there is no expectation that you should give. You are welcome here without obligation.

Giving with freedom and trust
The essentials are below. Open any section if you would like to know more.
Why people give
Giving is a response to God’s generosity and an expression of our responsibility to one another. It is not a membership fee and does not buy influence, recognition or belonging.
Generosity also includes prayer, hospitality, time, skills, encouragement and practical service.
Give freely and within your means
Please only give if you genuinely wish to and can do so without causing hardship to yourself or those who depend on you. Your value is never measured by how much you give.
We do not believe people should give money needed for food, housing, energy, debt repayments or other essentials. Anyone experiencing difficulty should be able to seek support without judgement or any expectation that they must first contribute.
Trust and accountability
New Park Road Baptist Church is a registered charity. Our Church Leaders serve as Trustees and are responsible for making sure finances and resources are managed carefully, transparently and in line with our charitable purposes.
Financial decisions should not be controlled by one person, hidden from scrutiny or shaped by the influence of major donors.
Other ways to give
You can place a gift in an envelope marked Giving during a Sunday gathering. Visitors are not expected to contribute.
If you have a question about giving, hardship or financial accountability, please contact the NPR team.
