31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The object of the charity is the propagation of the Christian faith throughout Lancaster and
surrounding areas, including evangelism, pastoral care. poor relief and counselling promoting
Christian doctrine, printing and distribution of the Bible and Christian literature, providing
meetings, equipment and other means of support for these activities.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities
Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission
for England and Wales.
Policies in force are provision of public meetings, outdoor meetings and involvement in the
community. The trust exists to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to support people in times of
spiritual need. It also exists to perform charitable acts and servI￿s. There has been no material
change in these policies since the previous report.
The Church is divided into a number of small groups, each with designated group leaders. An
element of the responsibility for the pastoral care of the members of each group is delegated to
the designated group leaders, although prime responsibility and authority in the area of Church life
rests with the Church elders and other key members of the core leadership team.
Responsibility for other areas of Church life, such as children's ministry, outreach and music
ministry, is also delegated to designated leaders with the Church elders retaining overall
responsibility for oversight.
Significant decisions with regard to the spiritual life of the Church are taken by Church elders after
consultation with other leaders. The trustees take responsibility for day yo day practical decisions.
Matters of significance continue to be discussed with the wider Church via special meetings and
through the small group structure.
Trustees meet regularly as prescribed by the trust deed. Responsibility for the appointment of new
trustees rests with the existing board of trustees. The trustees have acknowledged that the
Treasurer has been facing significant demands on his time and to alleviate this a wider finan
team has been created.
Chris Strahan, an elder of the Church, served as the Church's pastor throughout the year,
assisted by James Carr who was employed by the Church on a part time basis. Apostolic
oversight" of the Church throughout the year was provided by Mr Keri Jones of Ministries Without
Borders.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
Responsibility for pastoral care rested with Chris Strahan who was also responsible for overall
leadership of the Church, assisted by James Carr, together with Rose Starkey and Katy Allen,
both deacons in the Church throughout this period as well as Sarah Strahan, Hannah Carr and Ife
Akintunde as part of the wider leadership team.
Around 80 adults regularly attended the main Sunday meeting throughout the period. Grov¥th in
student numbers in the period inflated attendance during University term time.
The Church hosted a number of gospel outreach events during the year including a public
Christmas Carol service, several family events both in the Church building and at the nearby
Newton Estate as well as a "family film night" In addition, the Church hosted a "mission week"
alongside a visiting team from Youth With A Mission (YWAM). During the year, a "Community
Cafe" offering free refreshments was launched to provide a warm space" and opportunity for
socializing for the community local to the Church building. A parent, baby and toddler group was
relaunched during the year.
The Church continued to have an involvement with the local branch of Christians Against Poverty.
an organisation providing debt counselling services.
The still growing reputation of the King's House facilities as a venue for meetings and small
conferences led to consistent room hire activity with a local NHS trust operating a respiratory clinic
from the building as well as counsellors utilizing rooms on a regular basis. Rooms within the
building were also utilised by community groups and groups from Lancaster University from time
to time.
The charity's commitment to poor relief funding in Lancaster and overseas was maintained. The
Church contributed to a Christmas appeal by The Olive Branch, a local Christian run food bank.
Further donations were made in respect of poor relief both locally and internationally as well as
donations to support the work of local charities and various projects around the world undertaken
by Ministries Without Borders.
The Church welcomed a number of visiting speakers during the year, including Tim Jones, Geoff
Grice, James Topliss and Arne Skaagen.

FUTURE PLANS
It is the intention of the charity to continue to pursue the objects stated in its trust deed with regard
to the propagation of the Christian faith throughout Lancaster and the surrounding areas.
A number of outreach events have been planned for the coming year, including further community
outreach events and gospel presentations as well as a two week mission in conjunction with
YWAM. Further events are to be arranged around Easter and in the lead up to Christmas 2024.
It remains the aim of the Church to continue to see the King's House used by the wider
community as well as to retain a strong involvement in the various charitable activities outlined in
the report.
The area around the King's House property continues to be in the process of being re-developed
to provide good quality student accommodation. The trustees continue negotiations with a
developer who is seeking to acquire a small part of the existing Church building (known as the
former "caretaker flat") in exchange for new, modern multi-purpose space and storage facilities of
equivalent size within the proposed new development.
