ANNUAL TRUSTEES REPORT – 2021-22 Affiliated Church : Grace Christian Fellowship
Hope Community Trust is continuing to further its aims as a Christian charity. In accordance with the aims of the charity, HCT is actively seeking to promote the affiliated church ʻGrace Christian Fellowshipʼ.
The minister of Grace Christian Fellowship, Reverend Nicky Smith, is still living and working in India with her husband Pastor Samuel Zion, to support and develop a number of churches in the Andhra Pradesh region. They have set up two children’s homes, which GCF helps to support, where possible. Nicky Smith however returns to Norwich every year to oversee the work of the church GCF, which is continuing to develop under the leadership the eldership team.
GCF meets at Saints Event Venue, Yarmouth Road Norwich. Meetings during the week are held at memberʼs houses. The church services are usually an hour and a half and people from a variety of backgrounds attend.
GCF ministers still regularly visit a variety of people at home, some from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Rev. Smith and other members of GCF still visit churches in and around Norwich and ministers from local churches are often invited to preach at GCF. Members of the church often visit houses around the church to give out invitations and do some evangelical work in the streets around the church.
In the future HCT wishes to continue to develop its work with people from the local community, especially those in difficult circumstances or from disadvantaged backgrounds. In closing, HCT will seek to promote and continue to develop its aims as a supportive local Christian charity.
