Generosity Week 2026

Generosity Week often takes place in the Harvest season, so that as we thank God for his generosity to us, we also have the opportunity to think about how we might respond to that generosity.

Over the coming weeks and months, there are webinars and resources available to help you encourage generous giving in our churches.

Generosity Week in your church

Service materials, discipleship resources, ways of engaging the wider community and resources for young people are available of the Church of England website, as well as guidance to help your church host a Generosity Week.

How to get started with digital giving

What is digital giving and how could it help your church? This blog from the Church of England Digital Labs team is a quick guide to getting started.

Digital Giving this Advent and Christmas

Get ready for Advent with practical tips to strengthen your church's digital giving and communications. This special webinar will explore how to maximise digital giving opportunities, from online donations to contactless and in-person giving. 

Cornerstone Webinars

Cornerstone is an online generosity tool available free of charge to all Church of England churches. Cornerstone offers three separate functions: Insights, Pathways and a comprehensive Grants database. Find out more about Cornerstone here.

Getting the most out of Pathways and Grants
  • 15 September 2026 at 12.00pm - Register here.
How to use Cornerstone
  • 15 October 2026 at 12.00pm - Register here. 
Cornerstone at Christmas
  • 11 November 2026 at 2.00pm - Register here. 

Living Generously films

A series of 8 films for small groups and individual study. In this eight session course, Director of Giving, Jonathan de Bernhardt Wood, explores the simple, powerful moment in which Mary, a friend and follower of Jesus, displays the kind of astonishing generosity God Himself pours out on us. The wonder of the gospel is that this can be our story too as we discover the freedom of living generously.
