REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCES
We have continually struggled with face to face membership growth over the years. However, the lack of membership growth has not hampered our continuous dedication to impact the community we serve. Despite the lack of increase to our face to face regular members, we have continued as before to provide people in the community at large the opportunity to become members of our church to serve in a ministry dedicated to life changing teachings and support, worship, prayers and global evangelism and community missionary work. The achievements and performances are further elaborated below:
Worship and Prayer
We hold regular prayer and Bible studies respectively on Wednesdays and Fridays. The combinations of these meetings has helped members to grow tremendously in their faith and in turn has helped improved their commitment to provide a godly service to the wider community at large.
Community wide evangelistic and missionary work
We have continued with advancing the Christian religion through distribution of our church flyers to the local community to encourage people attends our service and become members of our church.
