This week, our churches will receive key information about the Parish Contribution Process for 2027.
Unlike previous years, we’re inviting you to think about parish contribution in the context of your own local ministry; and ask that you prayerfully reflect on what level of increase is realistic, considering how this might shape and sustain ministry in your church community and the wider diocese for years to come.
This year, all packs and offer forms will be sent electronically. They will be emailed to your PCC/DCC secretary (or person of contact), treasurer, churchwardens, and incumbent.
We encourage you to review the materials together and take time to reflect, discuss, and discern your response.
Parish Giving Officer, Laura Taylor says: “Generosity lies at the heart of what it means to be a disciple of Christ – it’s a spiritual response to God’s abundant generosity.
“I praise God for the generosity I see churches offer daily in their local communities and pray that we can partner together in building a generous culture across the diocese.”
We’ve created a dedicated Parish Contributions webpage where all information, guidance, and resources are available.
If you would like to receive packs by post, please complete this form.
If you have any questions about the process, please email our Parish Giving Officer, Laura Taylor at Laura.Taylor@LeicesterCofE.org
The deadline for responses is Monday 5 October 2026.
Bishop Martyn has made a video, thanking the many people who give generously to the life of our local churches, and the huge difference that makes across the diocese.
