Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of The London Full Gospel Central Church ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity and 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).
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The objective of the Trustees is the advancement of Christian Faith and the extension of the Kingdom of God. The Charity is dedicated to inspiring and motivating God’s people to reach their full potential in and through our Lord Jesus Christ.
b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
The Church holds regular services and outside of the formal routine, the Charity undertakes numerous activities to attract and retain worshippers.
c. Public Benefit
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities and the continuous impact of COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to impact on the Church’s activities in a variety of ways and significantly altered members’ church life and the ways members worship. The Church again closed its doors to all members on 20 December 2020 in accordance with the government guideline and re-opened its doors on 21 February 2021 as the government restrictions eased. The Church continued to carefully review and implement the plan for social distancing which resulted in worship services being held in the Church building and via Zoom and YouTube concurrently. However, other than worship services, many of the Church’s activities were either cancelled or only held remotely via Zoom and YouTube.
New Year's Conference
Due to the continuous impact of the pandemic, the New Year's Conference was cancelled.
Leadership Training
This was held in conjunction with the Autumn Conference on 30 October 2021.
The main objectives for 2021 are the same as those for 2020, as set out below:
-
A Happy Church through love and service
-
A Worshipping Church with all our hear
-
A Training Church for raising Jesus’ disciples
-
An Evangelising Church through the power of the Holy Spirit
-
A Transforming Church for the next generation through the Word

Achievements and performance (continued)
Charitable Gift to St. George’s Hospital and Kingston Hospital
On 28 February 2021, the Church made cash donations of £30,000 each to St. George’s Hospital and Kingston Hospital (in total £60,000), to thank the hospital staff and the NHS generally for their service during the pandemic. Together with the cash donations, the Church also made a short video compiling thank you messages from members of the Church, dedicated to the hospital staff and the NHS.
Easter Conference in Geseke, Germany
The congregation usually spends 3 nights in Germany in advance of the Easter period during which all attendees fast and pray in unity for the revival of Europe but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this conference was cancelled again, for a second year in a row.
New Church in Sutton
On 20 June 2021, the Church’s international congregation led by Rev. Abraham Jung moved out of its Raynes Park building on West Barnes Road and moved to a new church in Rosehill, Sutton, South London. This church will become the third branch church in 2022, following in the footsteps of London Full Gospel Central Church and London Full Gospel Finchley Church.
Departmental Summer Conferences
From the infant / nursery group to the youth group (including members of the English service led by Pastor Abraham Nam Jung), each department had its own summer conference spread from the beginning of July to the end of August. Some of these conferences were held in person whereas some were held remotely via Zoom or YouTube.
Discipleship Training Programme Graduation Service
A select group of the congregation participated in a 25-week intensive discipleship training programme designed to provide the participants with the opportunity to follow Jesus Christ in a more focused way as true disciples of Jesus Christ. The programme consisted of prayer and worship sessions, lectures, various homework-type assignments, debrief sessions and assessments. On 5 September 2021, the participants attended the graduation service and were awarded certificates of completion of training.
Autumn Conference
Members of the congregation attended the Autumn Conference on 29 October 2021 until 31 October 2021. The main speaker was Reverend Jae Woo Jung, who leads the “Grace Garden” Church in Seoul, South Korea.
Donations
In light of the many hardships and challenges faced by the Christian community due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Church made donations to various Christian organisations and churches in the UK. Other notable activities included the following:

Achievements and performance (continued)
b. Investment policy and performance
The Charity retains funds in its bank account so that the funds are available to make the quarterly repayments to the bank in respect of the mortgage loan.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Church continued its worship services online which ensured that there has been continuity of income for the Charity. For this reason they continue which focuses on spreading the gospel to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
b. Reserves policy
The Charity currently has £3,204,158 (2020: £2,833,177) in its reserves. These funds can only be realised on disposal of the Charity's freehold property, which have a net book value of £3,047,190 (2020: £3,061,698) at the year end. Excluding the freehold property, the reserves are in surplus of £156,968 (2020: deficit of £228,521). It should be noted that even though the level of activities increased compared to 2020, it is still lower than the prepandemic level. As a result the expense level also remained stable and this has had a mitigating effect on the Charity's reserves. The Charity's reserves policy is that such funds are used towards servicing its mortgage loan repayments and from time to time, it uses the reserves in order to cover any shortfall in its operating expenses.
c. Principal risks and uncertainties
A principal risk to the future of the Charity would be the loss of congregation, which in turn would affect the income of the Charity. The congregation level has remained above the sufficient level for a number of years, and whilst some members of the congregation left the Church to return to Korea in 2021, this has continued to be the case in 2021 despite the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore the Trustees do not believe that this is currently a risk to the Charity. Regular services (both online and offline) and numerous tasks undertaken by the Charity enable it to keep the required level of congregation.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The principal object of the Charity and the Governing Group is to provide for the spiritual needs of those wishing to worship at the Church. Please refer to the Deed of Trust dated 25th October 1992 (as amended from time to time) for the Church's fundamental principles which govern the entity
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity and the Group is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust Deed dated 25 October 1992 as amended on 2 April 2011 (and as further amended from time to time).
c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
All new Trustees are provided with relevant materials from the Charity Commission and also attend an instructive session on the Charity and its operations.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
d. Pay policy for senior staff
The Church's principles are to pay our senior staff a fair salary which is realistic and proportionate to the demanding nature of each role and responsibility in line with our charitable objectives. From these principles we have defined our pay policy as follows:
-
provide all staff with a salary at least in line with guidance from the Campaign for a Living Wage (currently £11.05 per hour in London);
-
meet all national pay standards and provide all paid staff with a living wage; and
-
the Board of Trustees decides on the salaries of the Church's senior staff and oversees proper administration of the Church's pay policy, evaluates and decides on any changes to senior staff pay.
e. Financial risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity and the Group, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are currently in place to mitigate such major risks.
Plans for future periods
The Charity intends to continue and build its congregation. Despite the set back the Church has experienced in 2020 and 2021, it continues to expand its congregation through proactively spreading the Gospel. The Church also intends to continue to dedicate its resources and efforts on its mission on European revival of Christianity.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of The London Full Gospel Central Church
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The London Full Gospel Central Church (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and in other respects the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of The London Full Gospel Central Church (continued)
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 8
The London Full Gospel Central Church
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of The London Full Gospel Central Church (continued)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud
Based on our understanding of the charity and the sector as a whole, and through discussion with the Trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, anti-bribery and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Second Edition (released October 2019), and other relevant charity legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated Trustees' and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks related posting inappropriate journal entries to increase revenue or reduce expenditure. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
-
Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations (including health and safety) and fraud, and review of the reports made by management and internal audit; and
-
Testing of internal controls procedures relating to expenditure potentially more susceptible to fraud and other irregularities including cash, payroll; and
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and
-
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing internal audit reports and reviewing correspondence with relevant tax and regulatory authorities.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charity's internal control
Page 9
The London Full Gospel Central Church
Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of The London Full Gospel Central Church (continued)
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The London Full Gospel Central Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

The London Full Gospel Central Church
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Freehold property - 2% Reducing Balance Freehold land - Not depreciated Motor vehicles - 20% Reducing Balance Office equipment - 20% Reducing Balance
1.5 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.6 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.7 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1.8 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.9 Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
