Church fundraising
The easiest way to support the future of the church building is to become a Friend of St. John's.
The Friends of St. John's standing order goes into the fund to help the church to cover its share of building maintenance costs.
The charitable trust running St. John's and Fernham Village Hall, Project Inspire, covers the running costs for the building's use for joint community activities.
The annual parish share goes towards clergy costs, and helps to cover the mission and outreach of the church.
