Giving to the work of the Church and beyond
We continue to thank God for your generosity, his people, in making our ministry possible. We do not receive any government or diocesan support, and we are, therefore, responsible for funding our ministry endeavours from our members. We do not take your generosity for granted, and we give thanks to you regularly.

This Sunday, let’s unite in spirit for a meaningful cash offering at your church, where our collective generosity can create powerful change.
Donations support our mission to transform lives through the grace of Jesus Christ. Please note that we do not retain or use personal details provided during online giving.
This convenient payment method, highlighted by Anglican Funds South Australia (AFSA), enhances your financial management and makes it easier to keep track of your commitments. To ensure a smooth process, please send all forms to the designated direct-giving warden of North Light Anglican Church, who will be happy to forward them to AFSA for you.
Leaving a gift in your will to Northlight Anglican Church is a meaningful way to support the community and contribute to the church’s mission and programs. Such a bequest can help fund various initiatives, including outreach programs, community services, and the maintenance of church facilities, ensuring that the church can continue its work for future generations.
When considering a gift to Northlight, you can leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or even a particular asset, such as property or investments. This generous act not only reflects your commitment to the church and its mission but can also provide potential tax advantages for your estate.
Consult with a legal or financial advisor to ensure that your wishes are clearly articulated in your will and that all legal requirements are met. By leaving a legacy gift to Northlight Anglican Church, you play a vital role in supporting its ongoing work in the community and beyond.
PayID streamlines the payment process, making it quicker, safer, and more accessible for everyone involved.

NorthLight's Mission Partners
As a church we have committed to supporting a number of ministries outside of NorthLight. Each year we aim to give more to these ministries (details are in the weekly church email) at a rate greater than the growth of our own budget. That is, we are trying to be increasingly generous ahead of our own needs. Nevertheless, you are encouraged to add extra and direct support of our mission partners through their host organisations.
Designated mission partner support
Most of our mission partners can be financially supported by giving directly to them, and for some of them, you can receive tax deductibility if you do so. However, we also support our partners from church funds, and you can, therefore, direct your giving through NorthLight.
The offertory envelopes provide a simple means of designating a specific mission partner to whom your gifts should be directed. If you use the envelopes, simply write the name of the mission partner on the “Beyond the parish” side of the envelope and money will be directed to that partner. Please note, however, that we only accept gifts for our formal mission partners; if you wish to support another mission, we ask that you make your arrangements for this.
If you wish to use direct giving into the Westpac account, you can also designate that your gift is used to support a mission partner. The reference details for each transaction should be very clear to ensure your gift goes to where it is intended.
Undesignated mission support
You may also choose to support our mission partners more generally, rather than directing your gift to a specific organisation or individual. The same three methods as outlined above can be used; however, you should just indicate “Mission”.
Mission support from North Light offertories
NorthLight sets aside a specific amount each year from general offertories for support of mission partners; in 2024, this is $97,000. Our policy is to increase this amount each year by a percentage greater than our offertory increase. This is in addition to any gifts given specifically for mission.
- Any gifts designated explicitly for them
- a specified fraction of the amount allocated from general offertories
- The same specified fraction of undesignated mission gifts is received.
- $1,000 from designated gifts
- $100 from undesignated gifts
- $5,000 from general offertories
