Supporting the Church

St John Baptist Church is dependent on the generosity of those who worship here, live locally or visit our lovely church. Your donations will support our ministry and mission, and also help with the day to day aspects of looking after the building.

Alternatively, donations can be made on the contactless card machine in church, by clicking the QR code on this page, sent via Charities Aid Foundation or by contacting Ailsa Comley, our treasurer.

Like many churches, Marldon Church is ‘excepted’ from charity registration. This just means we don’t have to register or submit annual returns. The Charity Commission regulates ‘excepted charities’ just like registered charities and can use any of its powers if it needs to. Click here for more details.
