Giving

Running a busy church like St John’s requires a significant annual income. At the moment about 50% of our income is used to support central Church of England costs; 40% is spent on maintaining the church and running its many activities and 10% is given to charities, both abroad and at home.

Giving a one-off or regular gift

To make it easy for you to give to the work of St John's, either as a one-off gift or as a regular payment, we use the Parish Giving Scheme. This also gives you the option of adding 20% to your gift at no extra cost to yourself (if eligible), by using Gift Aid.

To give, follow this link and select either 'Regular Giving' or 'One-off Gift':

Other ways to give

At services and events, we accept donations in cash or via electronic card readers.
Once a year in the autumn, we have a Gift Day when church members may make a specific donation to the work of the church. An invitation is sent to the congregation in the autumn.
You might wish to think about making a legacy to St John's in your will. Such a gift can have a transformative effect on our work and ministry. We have a booklet about this which you can find at the back of church, or please speak to our Treasure or email office@stjohntheevangelistcambridge.org to request a copy.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

If you are planning your first visit to St John’s, welcome! We hope the information below will help you.

Our Sunday morning services begin at 10.00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcoming team who will help you find somewhere to sit and will give you a service booklet and a hymn book. Please see our ‘Sunday services’ page for more details of services and times.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the morning service and we hope very much that you will stay for a chat. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through powered double doors, and an accessible toilet. We have a small car park, and there is free parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. You may wish to arrive 10-15 minutes early if you need a parking space close to the church.

You can expect:
- A warm welcome, with everything you need to follow the service easily;
- Beautiful music in the English choral tradition at both Sunday services, led by the St John's choir and organist;
- A talk or sermon, usually focused on the readings we have heard;
- On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, tea or coffee afterwards and time to chat with others.

What about children?
We have a regular Children’s Church on Sunday mornings for 4-11 year-olds. The children learn about the same Bible readings we are hearing in church, with games, activities and prayers. We also have an All-Age service, where everybody worships together, on the first Sunday of each month. Find out more about Children's Ministry.
