Giving
Make a donation.
The funds that maintain the life of our church community, programs and outreach, our mission and the upkeep on our buildings all come from donations. The largest part of these funds come from regular, committed donations by the members of our church community.
Each year we have time to focus on Stewardship, which includes our financial giving as well as the offering of the rest of our lives.
Donate online, via direct deposit or setup a regular donation through ParishDirect.

Missions
We regularly support the Bush Church Aid Society (BCA) and the Anglican Board of Missions (ABM). These reflect our location in Toowoomba and Queensland, and our being Anglican. We also support the annual Christmas Bowl Appeal, occasional one-off mission or need appeals such as for famines, earthquakes or other natural disasters.
Bush Church Aid Society
The Bush Church Aid Society is an association of Christians within the Australian Anglican Church. BCA Field Staff serve in regional and remote parts of Australia. Locals in these places are removed from cities, live in sparsely populated towns (sometimes as small as a few hundred people), and often don’t benefit from strong support networks of family and friends.
Churches in these areas can struggle, ongoing fellowship can be hard to maintain, and encouragement can become a rarity. To assist with the work of BCA you can obtain a small change box from the church.

Anglican Board of Mission
ABM is the national mission agency of the Anglican Church of Australia working with overseas and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. ABM works with partners both in Australia and overseas to provide support, and assist with community driven development projects that cover issues such as basic health and education, food security and livelihood support. At Holy Spirit we support ABM by the use of small change boxes, the annual Lenten appeal and through the saving of used stamps.

Leaving a Bequest
A bequest can change many lives. You can make a real difference to the good work of the Anglican Parish of St Luke Toowoomba by making a Will and choosing to leave a bequest which will be a lasting symbol of your generosity. Past bequests have enabled the establishment of new rural and urban ministries, community support in times of hardship and programs and facilities to help those in need.
Bequest Will Clause:
“I give and bequeath the sum of $…… (or the rest and residue of my estate) to The Corporation of The Synod of The Diocese of Brisbane for the general charitable and religious purposes of the Anglican Parish of St Luke Toowoomba, and the receipt of the Diocesan General Manager shall be a sufficient discharge to my executor or trustee.”
