Spread — Our Vision for 2026
Our vision is to make it virtually impossible for the people of Sunderland not to hear about Jesus.
On Sunday 27th September, we're holding a special Spread Offering — a chance to give above your regular giving and help fuel our evangelistic push this autumn and Advent, including inviting 10,000 people to explore faith through Alpha.
Every gift goes directly toward helping people hear and respond to the hope found in Jesus — funding Alpha and our Christmas outreach, including carol services where we'll welcome hundreds who don't normally come to church.
We're not just a church that gathers — we're a church with a big vision: to be a cathedral church playing our part in evangelising our region, revitalising the church, and transforming our communities.
10% of everything given will go to our impact partners, including Open Doors, supporting persecuted Christians around the world.

Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a valuable initiative of the UK Government, allowing charities to receive an additional 25p for every £1 donated by UK taxpayers.
This boost is achieved by reclaiming the basic rate of tax already paid on your donation.
When you make a Gift Aid Declaration, the total value of your donation can increase, and it won't incur any extra cost to you.
