Despite being "just a church" the amount flowing through our coffers every year is startling large. In 2001 we spent £273,000, which is equivalent to £20 per week for each adult that comes on a Sunday!
The following charts show where we expect our income to come from, and the major areas where we expect to spend it.
These tables give more detailed figures on income and expenditure, adjusted to show the budget for an average month (2002).

This shows that our major expenditure each month is on the Diocesan Quota. This is paid by each parish to its 'parent' diocese as its share of the costs of paying for, housing and paying the pension of our Rector and Curate. It also covers Diocesan staff, including posts like the Children's and Youth Officers. Other large costs include the upkeep and bills of our two buildings, and the costs of employing our other staff: Church Manager, Secretary, Director of Prayer Ministry, Facilities Manager and Cleaner.
The Treasurer will be happy to answer further questions you have about the finances.
The last set of audited accounts are for the calendar year 2001:
