Our Finances

The Boathouse Church is self-funded by the giving of our church family. We're therefore incredibly thankful to all those who joyfully and sacrificially support our ministry financially - something which we encourage all members of the church family to get involved in, whatever their means, recognising Jesus said it's more blessed to give than receive (Acts 20:35) and honoured the widow's mite more than the wealthy's large donations (Mark 12:41-44).

Want to think more about giving?

If you're starting your giving journey and would like to think more about it, a good place to start would be our mini-series on giving from 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, which can be found here.

Want to start giving?

Thank you! Here are the different ways you could get involved:

Standing Order Giving

From the point of view of our financial planning, the most helpful way of supporting our ministry is to set up a regular standing order to the following account:

Account name: The Co-Mission Churches Trust
Sort code: 40-52-40
Account number: 00097053

NB: The Co-Mission Churches Trust is the charity the Boathouse Church is part of, along with a number of other Co-Mission churches, and so its name is on our bank account. However, this particular account is solely for the Boathouse Church and so the whole of your donation (and any associated Gift Aid) will go directly to the Boathouse Church. If you would like more information on our governance, please see here.

Payroll Giving (Give As You Earn)

It may be more tax efficient for you to give through a payroll giving scheme; if you would like to do this, please speak to your employer about setting this up. There is more information on the HMRC website.

One-Off Giving

If you would rather make a one-off gift, you can do so using the bank details above or you can make a secure online gift by credit or debit card via the Co-Mission website.

Gift Aid

If you are a UK tax-payer and give via standing order or make a one-off gift, please Gift Aid your donations by submitting a Gift Aid declaration - this boosts our income by adding an extra 25p for every £1 you donate.

Alternatively, if you know we are unable to claim Gift Aid on your donations, please fill out this form.

Planning your Visit

Planning a Visit?

If you're thinking about joining us one Sunday the following information should help you know what to expect.

Where and When

OasisAcademy

We meet at the Oasis Academy Putney (click here for how to find us) on a Sunday - our service starts at 10:30am but if you arrive 10-15 minutes before then you'll have time to find your bearings and be welcomed by a few of our church family (starting with someone from our Welcome Team who will greet you on the door).

Accessibility: The venue is wheelchair accessible and there are disabled toilets along the main corridor.

What does a typical Sunday look like?

Our service begins at 10:30am with a official welcome from one of the team. This is followed by a time of sung worship, led by our band, which often includes a kids song with actions to help all of us - from the youngest to the oldest! - engage with what we're singing about. After the opening songs, the children head out for their own activities (more information about that here) while the rest of us take the chance to greet those sitting around us. We'll then share some news about what's coming up in the life of the church before a member of the church family leads us in prayer. We'll then hear the Bible read and preached, with the sermon connecting the timeless truths of the Bible with our modern lives, before finishing with a final song. After the service (which typically lasts an hour to an hour and a quarter), we encourage people to stay for tea or coffee, share lives and continue to speak about God's word.
