Be Rich

Chances are good that if you’re reading this, you’re in the 5% club. By international standards, you’re rich!

The apostle Paul told Timothy, 'Command those who are rich in this present world . . . to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.' - 1 Timothy 6:18.

Be Rich is an opportunity to remind the world that everybody matters to God whether God matters to them or not. If you have extra time and extra resources, no matter how little, then you are rich – and most of us have got some extra. God is commanding us to use our extra to Be Rich in good deeds, in serving others and in giving.

Every pound donated goes directly to charitable causes, every hour volunteered makes a significant impact, and every act of kindness reflects the love of Christ to the world.

Be Rich 2025

All the money given goes directly into the ForMK Crisis Fund. This Fund exists so that when life suddenly changes — when people face loss, uncertainty, or crisis — the Church can show up quickly, compassionately, and wisely.

The ForMK Crisis Fund allows us to step into those moments and say, “We see you. God sees you. And we’re with you.”

We don’t give money directly to individuals. Instead, we work in close partnership with trusted local charities and organisations across Milton Keynes. These are organisations who already know the needs, who have safeguarding in place, and who are walking alongside people every single day. Through these partnerships, needs are identified responsibly, support is distributed wisely, and help reaches the right people at the right time.

And because of your generosity last year, real lives were changed. Through the ForMK Crisis Fund, we supported 158 individuals and families. We partnered with 14 local organisations. We responded to real needs — from housing, to legal support, to emergency living costs.

Give, Serve, Love

Through the 2026 Be Rich campaign, we will come together to Give, Serve and Love individuals and organisations so that communities can be transformed. After all, our extravagant generosity toward others is the most appropriate response to God’s extravagant generosity toward us.

During February, we will hear from different organisations in Milton Keynes that we have supported through previous Be Rich campaigns and discover how God is calling you to Be Rich in this present age.

You can give to Be Rich today using the button below. Every pound raised will go directly to help those in need of vital support in Milton Keynes.
