Series Handbook

Each Sunday we take a cash collection by passing around ‘giving bags’ in our services. We are not shy about doing this because it demonstrates to our guests and visitors that we take the gospel seriously and it’s our joy and privilege to respond to it generously.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we do not pass bags around. There is a box at the back of the auditorium for you to place your offerings and tithe.

Please do not hand cash or cheques to the pastors or service leaders. People forget, and we have procedures in place so that all money collected is accounted for.

You can post Cheques directly to the church.

Wollongong Baptist Church

Please include a short note to let us know what the money is for and which service you normally attend.

Please do not hand cash or cheques to the pastors or other service leaders. People forget, and we have procedures in place so that all money collected is accounted for. You can place cheques in the Giving box at the back of the auditorium.
