TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
2025
Wycliffe Memorial Evangelical Church is a small local church in the Ashton area of Preston. Our main activity is to provide facilities for the worship of God, and to promote the spread of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ within the district. The Junior Church instructs young children in the Christian faith.
The Trustees oversee the management of the funds of the Charity, which are used for payment of heating, lighting, repair bills and general upkeep of the church building. The Rev. D E Solt was appointed Pastor from 1[st] January 2013 and is paid a small stipend with certain expenses for car tax and Insurance, telephone calls etc. From 1[st] May 2025 Daniel Solt was appointed Youth Pastor and is paid a small monthly stipend.
During 2025 we had a storage room converted into an office and studio for online presentations, this accounted for much of the church’s expenditure. God met all our needs through the generous giving of His people and we were able to continue to pay for increased fuel prices, maintenance and other expenses including church insurance.
Our church services are advertised on the Churches Facebook page.
Donations are made to other Christian charities and Missionaries.
Our assets consist of the church building and contents which are valued for insurance purposes as follows:-
Church building £3034,544 Contents £56,453
