Giving at St John's

Thank you so much for your financial support. We could not fulfil our God-given vision without the generous offering of your time, talents and finance.
Regular giving from the church family is the primary way in which St John’s resources itself - we receive no government or Church of England income. Gifts from our church family are gratefully received and are vital to our church's life and work, as we continue to serve those around us, safeguard the legacy of faith, music and worship which we have inherited, and offer the opportunity for new life and full life to those in the Wimborne area.

Regular committed giving helps us to plan financially and to grow our church both now and in the future. It is a joy that our giving enables so much in the life and work of our church.
Please scroll past the form below to see how to leave a legacy of faith.

For more information, download our latest giving leaflet here or please get in touch with our Giving Coordinator, Richard Phinn: giving@stjohnswimborne.org.uk.

Giving by standing order (preferred method - no fees!)

A monthly gift by standing order is the most effective way to give to the life and work of our church. This reduces administration and helps us to fund our mission, budget and use resources wisely. You can set this up or change an existing standing order through online banking or click here to download a form. Our bank details are on the form, but if you are setting this up online they are: St Johns PCC Wimborne / 40-52-40 / 00023667.

**If you are a UK taxpayer and can Gift Aid your donation, please complete the online form here, or download to complete offline here.**

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Please note that we are currently seeking a new Vicar, following the retirement of Revd Peter Breckwoldt in July 2025
