Generosity changes the landscape within our community. Our town is blessed with some amazing organisations that add value to our community. We want to bless three chosen organisations by taking one offering per month starting in December where we ask each person to give £1. 100% of the monies raised will be given to that charity for the month.
Now in it’s 40th year Chorley Women’s Centre has long been supporting and helping women find solutions to their problems, so that they can feel empowered to help themselves. We promote the mental health and wellbeing of all women, not only in Chorley, but in surrounding areas too.

Following the three offerings that are given to local organisations, we will take a ground breaking offering in March 2026 to pay of the loan on our building that will release resource into pivotal ministries within the church that reach all ages for Jesus…
There are times and seasons when we are invited to be part of something that changes the ‘landscape’ in which we operate. Our First Fruits Offering 2025/26 will be such an opportunity. Over recent years LWC has been blessed to have access to a loan that has allowed us to build and regenerate much of our building. We have, by God’s grace, never missed a monthly commitment, and have always witnessed the favour of God through the generosity of His people.
Our current outstanding balance is circa £85,000 and will be cleared in approximately 4 years. Through prayer and discussion, the leadership team feel that we should designate our FF25/26 giving to aim to clear or reduce this amount. In return this would free up approximately £1800 per month to invest into our active church ministries. This changes the ‘landscape’ in which we operate, by freeing up finance each month to expand the outreach of LWC. If we are blessed by raising an amount that exceeds £85,000, this will be assigned to general church funds.
In the run up to this special offering we want to encourage every adult, child and young person in the church to bring £1/month to give away to 3 amazing local charities or organisations that work for good in our community. This will be our ‘love Chorley’ campaign. In December, January and February we will give opportunity to bless these 3 charities. We will then open up our FF25/26 offering for the whole month of March 2026 as we see what God will do through our hearts of generosity and thankfulness to Him.
As you prayerfully consider your response to this, we thank God for his generosity towards us and walk in the light of His favour and grace.
