Grady Reid – Pastor of Christian Life Centre, Oxford

Christian Life Centre Church was founded in 1996. Two years later, we wanted to formalise our charitable status and we turned to Stewardship to help us. We looked around at various providers, but felt that Stewardship was the right one for us.

When we approached Stewardship, our church was much smaller than it is now. What we really needed was an organisation we could trust completely with our journey towards becoming a charity. We needed to rely on someone and be able to ask for help when we needed it. Stewardship was there for us right from the start.

We need to work with an organisation upon which we can rely and from whom we can ask for help whenever we need it. We have handed over our accounts for Stewardship to run and to examine annually. From time to time, they visit us for a feedback session and give us the advice we need, which is always very helpful and relevant to where we are. We are secure in the knowledge that we are on the right track financially.

We love using Stewardship and can rely on them. The team is incredibly professional, they say what needs to be said when it needs to be said, they are focused on our needs and issues, and they are direct and very encouraging to us. It’s great to work with a Christian charity knowing they hold the values which we share. They’ve saved us money on late payment penalties, time with their efficiency and professionalism and lots of hassle since they do such a good job. That frees us up to do what we need to do at church.
